Book Description
Katherine T. McCaffrey gives a complete analysis of the troubled relationship between the U.S. Navy and island residents. She explores such topics as the history of U.S. naval involvement in Vieques; a grassroots mobilization-led by fishermen-that began in the 1970s; how the navy promised to improve the lives of the island residents-and failed; and the present-day emergence of a revitalized political activism that has effectively challenged naval hegemony.
