Accidental Environmental Historian / Heefner, Gretchen   Journal Article
Heefner, Gretchen Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract I am an accidental environmental historian. Let me explain. I have always been attuned to where my stories take place—setting, after all, is one of the key elements of narrative. It is difficult to write about engineers in the Great Plains or diplomats in the Sahara without placing them there. Especially when your subjects are constantly scribbling notes about the peculiarities of where they find themselves.

Slice of their sovereignty: negotiating the U.S. empire of bases, wheelus field, Libya, 1950-1954 / Heefner, Gretchen   Journal Article
Heefner, Gretchen Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Using the case study of Libya, this article examines how U.S. policymakers sought to rationalize their appropriation of sovereign territory for strategic needs in the 1940s. This article also demonstrates how scholars can use the often-overlooked infrastructure of the U.S. military to historicize the bottom-up construction of U.S. global power.
