Ecologies of Empire: On the New Uses of the Honeybee
This essay examines the rise of the honeybee as a tool and metaphor in the U.S. "war on terror." At present, the largest source of funding for apiary research comes from the U.S. military as part of efforts to remake entomology in an age of empire. This funding seeks to make new generations of bees sensitive to specific chemical traces-everything from plastic explosives, to the tritium used in nuclear weapons development, to land mines. Moreover,…

How do race and nature work as terrains of power? From eighteenth-century claims that climate determined character to twentieth-century medical debates about the racial dimensions of genetic disease, concepts of race and nature are integrally connected, woven into notions of body, landscape, and nation. Yet rarely are these complex entanglements explored in relation to the contemporary cultural politics of difference. This volume takes up that ch…
