In Bioinsecurities Neel Ahuja argues that U.S. imperial expansion has been shaped by the attempts of health and military officials to control the interactions of humans, animals, viruses, and bacteria at the borders of U.S. influence, a phenomenon called the government of species. The book explores efforts to control the spread of Hansen's disease, venereal disease, polio, smallpox, and HIV through interventions linking the continental United States to Hawai'i, Panamá, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Congo, Iraq, and India in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Ahuja argues that racial fears of contagion helped to produce public optimism concerning state uses of pharmaceuticals, medical experimentation, military intervention, and incarceration to regulate the immune capacities of the body. In the process, the security state made the biological structures of human and animal populations into sites of struggle in the politics of empire, unleashing new patient activisms and forms of resistance to medical and military authority across the increasingly global sphere of U.S. influence.

Описание: Four days until the Election. Natasha Biron knows this is her last chance. Losing this Election means losing the war - and her life. Officer Aaren Jemmer diligently works to lockdown Haline and ensure Natasha's failure, another special assignment he'll use to keep his secret safe. Archives employee Joaquin Deva is wrapping-up at the office before a holiday with his girlfriend - until an unexpected discovery drives him to abandon everything in his near-perfect life to find the one person who can help him: Natasha Biron. Over the next four days their paths collide, shattering their realities as they each discover the lies they've been living and the unthinkable truth they share. HALINE is a stark look at a post-climate change future, a world licking its wounds after decades of war and famine in which resources are scarce and government tyrannical. It is the answer to the troubling and timely question: What if we do nothing? _________________________________________ PRAISE FOR HALINE: "HALINE is a mesmerizing story of a fallen world in which the characters struggle to cope with life after an environmental cataclysm." - Kabir Sehgal, New York Times best-selling author "Incredibly engaging and a total page turner. I haven't been that engaged by a book since Harry Potter or Twilight " - Lauren Weinstein "I finished HALINE in less than 24 hours - it was one of the most original and enjoyable books I've read." - Tyler Willis, Entrepreneur "For fans of The Wind-Up Girl and The Handmaid's Tale a cautionary story of a not too distant dystopian future, it serves as a hard slap across the face to wake from our collective apathy." - @thesubjective
