Reviews
“Moving beyond the focus on security that demonstrates the necessity or outrage of military interventions, this multidisciplinary and genuinely regional volume suggests that all of the various kinds of military encounter can be found across the region's imperial boundaries, showing us patterns of violence and power that are usually occluded by a focus on a single language area. The longstanding engagement of the region's people with the militarization that has been continuous with the storyof the Caribbean's modernity is explored with rich attentiveness to intimacy, silence, and the quotidian, as occupiers and insurgents' intentions converge on the same sites.” (Faith Smith, Associate Professor of African and Afro-American Studies and English, Brandeis University, USA)
