The United States spends some $170 billion every year on military bases and
other military presence in other countries, but this presence and its cost often
go unnoticed in the United States.
Anthropologist researchers David Vine (American University) and
Catherine Lutz (Brown University) will help you understand the far-flung
and massive U.S. military presence in more than 100 countries, and how to obtain
information you can use in the current budget debates, in solidarity with
impacted communities in other countries, and to understand material expression
of empire.
