| Abstract
|
:
|
Attentive to the connections among the body, the nation, and the world in twentieth-century U.S. history, the contributors provide historically grounded insights into the transnational dimensions of biopolitics. Their subjects range from the regulation of prostitution in the Philippines by the U.S. Army to Cold War ideals of American feminine beauty, and from ""body counts"" as metrics of military success to cultural representations of Mexican migrants in the United States as public health threats.
