Striking the empire back: Dr. Strangelove and the global histories of technology.

This article explores the other side of hegemony – a concept central to John Krige's work on co-production and transnational history. Focusing on the case of Gerald Bull, university professor-turned-weapons dealer, it examines how individuals working on the edges of Cold War empires cobbled together practices, objects, and geographies that evaded and exploited the power of nation-states. Tracing those concerns from North America to Barbados and Iraq, the article suggests how we might avoid reproducing (or producing anew) the hegemonies we study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
