Description
Securing Paradise: Tourism and Militarism in Hawai'i and the Philippines
Vernadette Vicuña Gonzalez examines how tourism and militarism have intertwined to serve US interests in the Pacific, using fiction, colonial projects, and present-day tourist practices to illustrate their connection.
The intersection of these two forces reinforces US imperialism in the region, shaping everyday life in Hawai'i and the Philippines through gendered structures of feeling and formations of knowledge.
