Militarizing Culture - Essays on the Warfare State (Electronic book text)


Militarizing Culture is a rousing critique of the American warfare state by a leading cultural commentator. Roberto J. Gonzalez reveals troubling trends in the post-9/11 era, as the military industrial complex infiltrates new arenas of cultural life, from economic and educational arenas to family relationships. One of the nation's foremost critics of the Human Terrain System program, Gonzalez makes passionate arguments against the engagement of social scientists and the use of anthropological theory and methods in military operations. Despite the pervasive presence of militarism and violence in our society, Gonzalez insists that warfare is not an inevitable part of human nature, and charts a path toward the decommissioning of culture.
