Militarism is being globalized today, not only because weapons are being traded worldwide, but because certain ideas about `femininity` and `masculinity` are being promoted and absorbed globally. Who is presumed to be the `protector`? Who is taught to be grateful to be the `protected`? Written by one of the world`s leading feminist scholars, this masterful and provocative book considers how women`s desires to be patriotic yet feminine and men`s fears of being feminized have been exploited to globalize militarism―and thus what it will take to roll back militarization anywhere. Through explorations of how governments think so narrowly about `national security,` of how postwar reconstruction efforts have marginalized women, of how ideas about feminization were used to humiliate male prisoners in Abu Ghraib, and of why `camo` has become a fashion statement, Cynthia Enloe unravels militarism`s both blatant and subtle workings. Focusing her lens on the `big picture` of international politics and on the small picture of women`s and men`s complex everyday lives, Enloe challenges us to recognize militarism in all its forms.
