As the Cold War turned hot in the Pacific, antifascist critique disclosed a continuity between U.S. police actions in Asia and a rising police state at home. Writers including James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, and W.E.B. Du Bois discerned in domestic strategies to quell racial protests the same counterintelligence logic structuring America's devastating wars in Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExamining U.S. militarism's centrality to the Cold War cultural imagination, Christine Hong assembles a transpacific archive--placing war writings, visual renderings of the American concentration camp, Japanese accounts of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, black radical human rights petitions, Korean War-era G.I. photographs, Filipino novels on guerrilla resistance, and Marshallese critiques of U.S. human radiation experiments alongside government documents. By making visible the way the U.S. war machine waged informal wars abroad and at home, this archive reveals how the so-called Pax Americana laid the grounds for solidarity--imagining collective futures beyond the stranglehold of U.S. militarism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christine Hong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150360313X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503603134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.10d","brand":"Christine Hong","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985298686207,"sku":"9781503603134","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a188f765-37f1-41e1-bfdd-0940b9b26a75.jpg?v=1683276738","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-violent-peace-christine-hong-9781503603134","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
