Entangled Geographies ─ Empire and Technopolitics in the Global Cold War
商品資訊
商品簡介
The Cold War was not simply a duel of superpowers. It took place not just inWashington and Moscow but also in the social and political arenas of geographically far-flungcountries emerging from colonial rule. Moreover, Cold War tensions were manifest not only in globalpolitical disputes but also in struggles over technology. Technological systems and expertiseoffered a powerful way to shape countries politically, economically, socially, and culturally.Entangled Geographiesexplores how Cold War politics, imperialism, and postcolonial nation buildingbecame entangled in technologies and considers the legacies of those entanglements for today'sglobalized world. The essays address such topics as the islands and atolls taken over for militaryand technological purposes by the supposedly non-imperial United States, apartheid-era SouthAfrica's efforts to achieve international legitimacy as a nuclear nation, international technicalassistance and Cold War politics, the Saudi irrigation system that spurred a Shi'i rebellion, andthe momentary technopolitics of emergency as practiced by Medecins sans Frontieres. The contributorsto Entangled Geographies offer insights from the anthropology and history of development, fromdiplomatic history, and from science and technology studies. The book represents a unique synthesisof these three disciplines, providing new perspectives on the global Cold War.
