Reviews
Soldiering Through Empire is an absolutely essential text for diagnosing, understanding, and resisting the ongoing race war that lies at the very heart of the (neo)liberal capitalist project. From this perspective, radical geographers would be remiss not to read Soldiering Through Empire alongside the work of an emerging cohort of junior scholars in ethnic and American studies that are all, in their own ways, sketching out intellectual and political pathways for confronting and defeating the pernicious forces of racial liberalism. * Society & Space * Offering an alternative view of the war, Man shifts the story's center to the Pacific world, broadening the context so that the Vietnam War is not a discrete event, but a link in a U.S. capitalist-imperialist chain shackling East Asia. * Journal of American-East Asian Relations * Innovative. . . . In a present defined by the militarization of national borders, Man's work can help us see the seeds of dissent sprouting below the barbed wire. * Public Books * This is a wide-ranging, analytically rich and insightful book which does not lose sight of the 'big picture.' * Connections *
