Security Disarmed
Critical Perspectives on Gender, Race, and Militarization
Rutgers University Press
In Security Disarmed, scholars, policy planners, and activists come together to think critically about the human cost of violence and viable alternatives to armed conflict. Arranged in four parts--alternative paradigms of security, cross-national militarization, militarism in the United States, and pedagogical and cultural concerns--the book critically challenges militarization and voices an alternative encompassing vision of human security by analyzing the relationships among gender, race, and militarization.

Beyond Sun and Sand
Caribbean Environmentalisms
Edited by Sherrie L. Baver and Barbara Deutsch Lynch
Rutgers University Press
Filtered through the lens of the North American and European media, the Caribbean appears to be a series of idyllic landscapes-sanctuaries designed for sailing, diving, and basking in the sun on endless white sandy beaches. Conservation literature paints a similarly enticing portrait, describing the region as a habitat for endangered coral reefs and their denizens, parrots, butterflies, turtles, snails, and a myriad of plant species.

Military Power and Popular Protest
The U.S. Navy in Vieques, Puerto Rico
Rutgers University Press
Katherine T. McCaffrey gives a complete analysis of the troubled relationship between the U.S. Navy and residents of Vieques, a small island just off the east coast of Puerto Rico. She explores such topics as the history of U.S. naval involvement in Vieques; a grassroots mobilization led by fishermen that began in the 1970s; how the navy promised to improve the lives of the island residents and failed; and the present-day emergence of a revitalized political activism that has effectively challenged naval hegemony.
