Publisher Comments:

"Enloe blends a sharp analytical eye with an attention to real people's lives. She examines the structural forces that militarize our lives, but does not overlook the role of the individual in either advancing or resisting militarization."--Jennifer Turpin, coeditor of The Women and War Reader

"One of the most impressive things about this book is its breadth, and the way in which Enloe runs her thread through so many different issues, so many different women's stories and experiences."--Sandra Whitworth, author of Feminism and International Relations

"Cynthia Enloe here rethinks the global militarization of women's lives that she first confronted in her now-classic Does Khaki Become You? With her customary insight, sensitivity, and eloquence, Enloe helps us to see the connections among diverse groups of women in every corner of the world. If her unravelling of the process of militarization can make frightening reading, at the same time she holds out hope by showing that demilitarization, like its opposite, comes about through concrete acts and decisions."--Leila J. Rupp, author of Worlds of Women

Synopsis:

Enloe claims that politics militarize our lives--including films that equate action with war and condoms that are designed with a camouflage pattern--and that this contributes to militaristic values that mold our culture in both war and peace. 16 photos.

Synopsis:

This text offers a look at the politics of masculinity, nationalism, and globalization. It provides a view of the process called "militarization", showing that people who become militarized are not just the obvious ones such as factory floor workers but also employees of food companies.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 379-397) and index.
