Book
2013, Hot Spotter’s Report: Military Fables of Toxic Waste (Minneapolis and London: University of Minnesota Press)
Using empirical research and creative nonfiction, Hot Spotter’s Report examines how the biopolitics of war promotes the idea of a postmilitary and postnuclear world, naturalizing toxicity and limiting human relations with the past and the land. Exposing “hot spots” of contamination, in part by satirizing government reports, the book argues that U.S. militarism obscures the domestic remains of war, and seeks to cultivate ethical responses and coalitional possibilities.
