An Ethnography of an Air Force Base in Ecuador

US military presence in twenty-first century in Latin America has recently been characterised by rapidly intensifying militarization alongside under-supported anti-military activism. This book redirects recent debates about twenty-first century social mobilization by taking seriously those who actively resist the social movements in their midst.

Rezensionen

The volume is well written, theoretically sophisticated, and full of insights, and it importantly provides the voices of many locals. ... The book is written from the perspective of an activist-anthropologist ... . to her great credit and disciplinary professionalism, Fitz-Henry does a superb job of bringing out the full complexity of the social and cultural circumstances of Manta. For any anthropologist concerned with global and national issues of militarism and militarization, this is an important and timely volume."
