Global Warrior


Book Description

This book is for all U.S. special operators in search of foolproof assault, defense, and E&E technique. With many of their counterparts in South and East Asia already light-infantry experts, such a quest is very wise. Though published in 2011, Global Warrior contains three timeless answers: (1) the most detailed study in existence of Pakistan's internal strife; (2) a fully tested/refined way for each U.S. unit to develop advanced tactical techniques for the specific circumstances it expects to encounter; and (3) how a U.S. infantry or commando squad might reestablish surprise during a partially compromised assault. Requiring no technology at all, truly light infantrymen (of whom the U.S. currently has none) make the best trainers of Third-World troops. That's because those troops must usually operate without any supporting arms or advanced electronics of their own. Yet, light-infantry expertise can still be combined with camera/computer-triggered antitank rockets and other technological marvels. That makes it very useful to any unit or individual. Contrary to the arms manufacturers' claims, those skilled at light-infantry maneuvers ARE ABLE TO hold their own in conventional battle with acceptable losses. They can also apply less force in a 4GW environment (one with non-martial aspects). The average American Special Forces, SEAL, AFSOC, or MARSOC member should thus be quite interested in what this book has to offer.

Sport, Migration, and Gender in the Neoliberal Age


Book Description

This ethnographic collection explores how neoliberalism has permeated the bodies, subjectivities, and gender of youth around the world as global sport industries have expanded their reach into marginal areas, luring young athletes with the dream of pursuing athletic careers in professional leagues of the Global North. Neoliberalism has reconfigured sport since the 1980s, as sport clubs and federations have become for-profit businesses, in conjunction with television and corporate sponsors. Neoliberal sport has had other important effects, which are rarely the object of attention: as the national economies of the Global South and local economies of marginal areas of the Global North have collapsed under pressure from global capital, many young people dream of pursuing a sport career as an escape from poverty. But this elusive future is often located elsewhere, initially in regional centres, though ultimately in the wealthy centres of the Global North that can support a sport infrastructure. The pursuit of this future has transformed kinship relations, gender relations, and the subjectivities of people. This collection of rich ethnographies from diverse regions of the world, from Ghana to Finland and from China to Fiji, pulls the reader into the lives of men and women in the global sport industries, including aspiring athletes, their families, and the agents, coaches, and academy directors shaping athletes’ dreams. It demonstrates that the ideals of neoliberalism spread in surprising ways, intermingling with categories like gender, religion, indigeneity, and kinship. Athletes’ migrations provide a novel angle on the global workings of neoliberalism. This book will be of key interest to scholars in Gender Studies, Anthropology, Sport Studies, and Migration Studies.
