Join us Sunday, Dec. 13 for a discussion with the authors of The Counter-Counterinsurgency Manual: Or, notes on demilitarizing American Society, at the Shirlington Branch Library.
At a moment when the U.S. military decided it needed cultural expertise as much as smart bombs to prevail in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Pentagon?s Counterinsurgency Field Manual offered a blueprint for mobilizing anthropologists for war. The Counter-Counterinsurgency Manual critiques that strategy and offers a blueprint for resistance. Written by the founders of the Network of Concerned Anthropologists.
