Second-Class Waves for Second-Class Citizens
This article traces the colonial origins of sexism and hypermasculinity in modern surf culture. As white Americans increasingly took up surfing following the US annexation of Hawai‘i in 1898, sexism emerged as an enduring feature of the pastime. Indeed, it became ubiquitous during the sport's massive growth in the second half of the twentieth century, with sexist comments, photographs, and articles seemingly everywhere in the surf media. By the 1…
The “Silent Majority” Speech
The "Silent Majority" Speech treats Richard Nixon’s address of November 3, 1969, as a lens through which to examine the latter years of the Vietnam War and their significance to U.S. global power and American domestic life. The book uses Nixon’s speech – which introduced the policy of "Vietnamization" and cited the so-called bloodbath theory as a justification for continued U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia – as a fascinating moment around which…
Imperial Benevolence
This is a necessary and urgent read for anyone concerned about the United States' endless wars. Investigating multiple genres of popular culture alongside contemporary U.S. foreign policy and political economy, Imperial Benevolence shows that American popular culture continuously suppresses awareness of U.S. imperialism while assuming American exceptionalism and innocence. This is despite the fact that it is rarely a product of the state. Expertl…
Tourists in Uniform
“Tourists in Uniform” examines the conjunction of tourism and American empire-building through the Pocket Guide series of guidebooks published by the US Department of Defense, one of the largest travel publishers of the Cold War era. The Pentagon used these publications to present its hundreds of thousands of troops with an enticing vision of the delightful discoveries that awaited them overseas. They were also employed by military officials as e…
Wanderlust
By mid-1967, when the State Department appointed Hollywood powerbroker Jack Valenti chairman of the U.S. delegation to the biennial Moscow Film Festival, The Endless Summer (1966), a celebrated chronicle of two surfers traveling around the world in search of waves, had already earned countless accolades. Newsweek pronounced it a “sweeping and exciting account of human skill pitted against the ocean itself.” 1 To Life it was the “nicest surprise t…

Waves of Segregation
In 1985 several of the world's leading professional surfers announced that they would boycott the South African leg of the surfing world tour. This decision followed years of debate within the surfing community about whether and how to respond to the brutality of apartheid. While most scholarship on the athletic component of the antiapartheid movement has focused on major team sports whose professional associations either subscribed to or rejecte…

Hollywood's Vietnam, 1929–1964
Before 1965 and the introduction of the .rst of.cial American combat troops, the political unrest and revolutionary insurgency in Vietnam had already appeared in nearly a dozen Hollywood .lms. Yet while the anti-communist politics of these productions was predictable, it would be a mistake to view them as mere vehicles for Cold War propaganda. Although they served that obvious function, early American filmmakers who set their pictures in Vietnam …

Broken Brotherhood
Broken Brotherhood is a film about healing. Proceeding from the assumption that the United States remains riven by the Vietnam War decades after it officially ended, director Lou Buttino addresses the continuing unease about the conflict in American memory through his own experiences and recollections and those of his fellow Colgate University alumni from the 1960s and 1970s. The documentary originated with Colgate's 1994 memorialization of its f…
Shaping Memory of the Past
Asserting that travel guidebooks provide an important generative source of "systems of knowledge and belief" among Western tourists in Vietnam today, the author identifies 3 major discourses in popular guidebooks for Vietnam and concludes that they adhere to a Cold War theme of anti-Communism that assumes American benevolence and criticisms, while allowing for American "mistakes" in the U.S. prosecution of the war, remain within established param…
It Is Cheaper and Better to Teach a Young Indian Than to Fight an Old One
Late in 1881, as third-term US congressman Thaddeus Coleman Pound was residing in Washington, D.C., the editorial writers at the Chicago Tribune opined on a not insubstantial problem then afflicting the nation. The “rapid development of the Pacific roads, North and South, as well as of other projected roads, is bringing white immigration into direct contact with the Indians,” the editorialists explained, “and they [i.e Indians] are in the way.” T…
