- Authors
Nebolon, Juliet
- Abstract
The article discusses the interconnected regimes of the U.S. settler colonialism and militarization in Hawai‘i, focusing on the wartime public health programs during World War II. It states that a mandatory immunization program was introduced to vaccinate individuals in order to maintain an uncontaminated military base. The U.S. military government also employed provisional wartime racial liberalism in Hawai‘i and was the biopolitical center of the Pacific War.
