Suburban Empire takes readers to the US missile base at Kwajalein
Atoll in the Marshall Islands, at the matrix of postwar US imperial
expansion, the Cold War nuclear arms race, and the tide of
anti-colonial struggles rippling across the world. Hirshberg shows
that the displacement of indigenous Marshallese within Kwajalein
Atoll mirrors the segregation and spatial politics of the mainland
US as local and global iterations of US empire took hold. Tracing
how Marshall Islanders navigated US military control over their
lands, Suburban Empire reveals that Cold War-era suburbanization
was perfectly congruent with US colonization, military testing, and
nuclear fallout. The structures of suburban segregation cloaked the
destructive history of control and militarism under a veil of
small-town innocence.
