In this meticulously researched monograph, Manu Karuka situates the railroad within the violent global histories of colonialism and capitalism. Through an examination of legislative, military, and business records, Karuka deftly explicates the imperial foundations of U.S. political economy. Tracing the shared paths of indigenous and Asian American histories, this multisited interdisciplinary study connects military occupation to exclusionary border policies, a linked chain spanning the heart of U.S. imperialism. This highly original and beautifully wrought book unveils how the transcontinental railroad laid the tracks of the U.S. Empire"--Provided by publisherThe prose of countersovereignty -- Modes of relationship -- Railroad colonialism -- Lakota -- Chinese -- Pawnee -- Cheyenne -- Shareholder whiteness -- Continental imperialism -- Epilogue : The significance of decolonization in North AmericaManu KarukaRailroadsUnited States19th centuryCapitalismUnited States19th centuryChineseUnited StatesEconomic conditions19th centuryIndians of North AmericaUnited StatesEconomic conditions19th centuryImperialismColonizationCapitalism1800-1899United StatesEisenbahnlinieKolonisationIndianerKapitalismusExpansionspolitik978052029662697805202966401090772690990363453170206441HT020153431Empire's tracksKaruka, Manu, 1977-Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2019]9780520969056American crossroads52(DE-605)HT01091428549HBZ_UBK49HBZ_UBO49HBZ_ULM49HBZ_DUErda19080620260504121859.0155603701ger https://ce.visuallibrary.net//domainresource/static/graphics/connectors/viewerLogo.gif http://193.30.112.129:83/F/?func=find-c&ccl_term=ICS%3D155603701+X0001 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/id/1392243 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/i3f/v20/1392243/manifest https://ce.visuallibrary.net/proto_ftsearch/1392243
