Summary
This book examines how the geopolitics of identity, war and liberalism are experienced and negotiated in the everyday lives of members of the armed forces, and how these experiences in turn, reinforce and sustain dominant and intersecting discourses of conflict, governance, gender, ethnicity and sexuality. The book draws on original and unique research with military personnel to take an intimate look at how soldiers negotiate, challenge, reinforce and resist the liberal state and its war machinery in their daily lives.
