However, colonial abuses of indigenous remains suggest otherwise. Taking Achille Mbembe's necropolitics as a point of departure, I draw attention to the extraction of soil containing human remains in the US military base construction of occupied Okinawa. I argue that ossuopower—the right to control remains, both human and nonhuman—is fundamental to colonial territorial expansion. Tracing the stories of bones, I first contextualize the exercise of ossuopower in the history of US settler colonialism and garrison militarism in the Pacific, where bones symbolize sovereign power and claims to land. I then offer a case study of the exercise of the right over remains in Okinawa, from the post–World War II era of US occupation through Reversion-era mainland Japanese development to the current Futenma Airbase relocation. Bones bear the material traces of the changing forces of US militarization and Japanese maldevelopment. In closing, I analyze Tsuyoshi Shima's short story \"Bones\" to illumine an indigenous Okinawan relation to land and suggest the need for epistemes of care for remains and land. In theorizing ossuopower, I offer a lens to analyze the entanglement of militarization, globalization, and securitization in the Pacific Century.","PeriodicalId":51543,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN QUARTERLY","volume":"74 1","pages":"567 - 589"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41633224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lee","doi":"10.1353/aq.2022.0032","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/aq.2022.0032","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:Focusing on an array of comparable racial and ethnic projects, this essay identifies and unpacks how an affective infrastructure of rival imperial formations that we call \"ethno-racial paranoia\" spawns enduring fears and antagonisms to perpetuate Cold War mentalities. Through an ethnoracial linkage, the US and PRC not only have been coconstituting and coevolving through each other but also have emerged as interdependent adversaries. Our analysis challenges verticalized historiographies that valorize diametrically opposed nation-states engaged in Cold War struggles by highlighting the centrality of ethno-race in creating divisive discourses and paradigms. Second, we demonstrate how ethno-race, despite the \"end\" of the old Cold War, continues to undergird the re-creation and maintenance of imperial boundaries, setting the stage for a new Cold War. Finally, we shift attention to the minor-to-minor relations formulated among activists in Hong Kong and Taiwan who are stuck between the new Cold War imperial rivalry. Our aim is to show how these groups—who share affects that cannot be absorbed into the structured historiographies, hermeneutical patterns, and economic materialities informed by Cold Warism—illuminate an alternative path that cuts across the seemingly impenetrable binaries bolstering the ethno-racial paranoia at the heart of intensifying interimperial antagonism between the US and PRC.","PeriodicalId":51543,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN QUARTERLY","volume":"74 1","pages":"499 - 521"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44778542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
