Abstract

The US military interests in the Pacific and the narratives of security they promote in Hawai’i and in the Philippines have converged into a new vehicle of expression: international tourism. Militarism and tourism, asserts Vernadette Vicuña Gonzalez in her compelling book Securing Paradise, are inextricably intertwined. This connection is visible in the colonized landscape of these countries, both in the “historical and present-day tropics” of the USA.
