Review
"Under Construction is extraordinarily well written, original, timely, and its subject matter is extremely important. Fosher's demonstration of the usefulness of an ethnographic approach to the topic is truly valuable - practitioners, planners, and policy makers especially need to read this book." - Anna Simons, author of The Company They Keep: Life Inside the U.S. Army Special Forces"
Review
"Under Construction is extraordinarily well written, original, timely, and its subject matter is extremely important. Fosher's demonstration of the usefulness of an ethnographic approach to the topic is truly valuable-practitioners, planners, and policy-makers especially need to read this book."--Anna Simons, Naval Postgraduate School (Anna Simons )
"Kerry Fosher's conscientious ethnography of homeland security is noteworthy in two regards. First, its focus on practice opens up homeland security as a complex field of study, challenging armchair analyses that discern national security developments strictly from political speeches and government reports. Second, it provides rich fodder for professional ethics discussions among anthropologists rightly wary of interpreting national defense in its own terms."-- Monica Schoch-Spana, University of Pittsburgh (Monica Schoch-Spana )
