In Settler Garrison Jodi Kim theorizes how the United States
extends its sovereignty across Asia and the Pacific in the
post-World War II era through a militarist settler imperialism that
is leveraged on debt as a manifold economic and cultural relation
undergirded by asymmetries of power. Kim demonstrates that despite
being the largest debtor nation in the world, the United States
positions itself as an imperial creditor that imposes financial and
affective indebtedness alongside a disciplinary payback temporality
even as it evades repayment of its own debts. This debt imperialism
is violently reproduced in juridically ambiguous spaces Kim calls
the "settler garrison": a colonial archipelago of distinct yet
linked military camptowns, bases, POW camps, and unincorporated
territories situated across the Pacific from South Korea to Okinawa
to Guam. Kim reveals this process through an analysis of how a wide
array of transpacific cultural productions creates antimilitarist
and decolonial imaginaries that diagnose US militarist settler
imperialism while envisioning alternatives to it.
