The Global Interior by Megan Black PDF Summary

Book Description: Winner of the George Perkins Marsh Prize Winner of the Stuart L. Bernath Prize Winner of the W. Turrentine Jackson Award Winner of the British Association of American Studies Prize "Extraordinary...Deftly rearranges the last century and a half of American history in fresh and useful ways." --Los Angeles Review of Books "Offers unprecedented insights into the depth and staying power of American exceptionalism...as generations of policymakers sought to extend the reach of U.S. power globally while emphatically denying that the United States was an empire." --Penny Von Eschen, author of Satchmo Blows Up the World "A smart, original, and ambitious book. Black demonstrates that the Interior Department has had a far larger, more invasive, and more consequential role in the world than one would expect." --Brian DeLay, author of War of a Thousand Deserts When one thinks of the story of American power, the Department of the Interior rarely comes to mind. Yet it turns out that a government agency best known for managing natural resources and operating national parks has constantly supported and projected America's imperial aspirations. Megan Black's pathbreaking book brings to light the surprising role the U.S. Department of the Interior has played in pursuing minerals around the world--in Indigenous lands, foreign nations, the oceans, and even outer space. Black shows how the department touted its credentials as an innocuous environmental-management organization while quietly satisfying America's insatiable demand for raw materials. As presidents trumpeted the value of self-determination, this almost invisible outreach gave the country many of the benefits of empire without the burden of a heavy footprint. Under the guise of sharing expertise with the underdeveloped world, Interior scouted tin sources in Bolivia and led lithium surveys in Afghanistan. Today, it promotes offshore drilling and even manages a satellite that prospects for Earth's resources from outer space.
