    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "<p>In this excerpt from Jodi Kim's book <em>Settler Garrison</em>, Kim maps the use of debt as a form of power wielded by the creditor over the debtor, examining the dynamics of this assymetrical relationship through the case studies of sex camps outside military bases in South Korea and Okinawa. Kim extends this analytic to a trenchant examination of the injustices legitimated by colonialism, tracing the ways that the US extends its power into the sovereign spaces of Asian countries and marshalling them through structures of IMF-indebtedness into the settler garrisons of the book's title.</p>",
