    Under martial law during World War II, Hawai'i was located at the intersection of home front and war front. In Settler Militarism, Juliet Nebolon shows how settler colonialism and militarization simultaneously perpetuated, legitimated, and concealed one another in wartime Hawai'i for the purposes of empire building in Asia and the Pacific Islands. She demonstrates how settler militarism operated through a regime of racial liberal biopolitics that purported to protect all people in Hawai'i, even as it intensified the racial and colonial differentiation of Kanaka Maoli, Asian settlers, and white settlers. Nebolon identifies settler militarism's inherent contradiction: It depends on life, labor, and land to reproduce itself, yet it avariciously consumes, via violent and extractive projects, those same lives and natural resources that it needs to subsist. From vaccination and blood bank programs to the administration of internment and prisoner-of-war camps, Nebolon reveals how settler militarism and racial liberal biopolitics operated together in the service of capitalism. Collectively, the social reproduction of these regimes created the conditions for the late-twentieth-century expansion of United States military empire.

    Papal supremacy in ecclesiastical matters had long been asserted and was, by and large, unchallenged. But in the late 11th century, Pope Gregory VII asserted authority in the temporal sphere as well. In a long dispute with Emperor Henry IV over who had the right to appoint bishops and abbots, Gregory decreed that the pope “alone may use the imperial insignia,” that “all princes shall kiss the feet of the pope alone,” and “that it may be permitted to him to depose emperors.” The popes asserted their dominion over the whole of Christendom, based on a spurious document known as the Donation of Constantine. This 8th century forgery asserted that Constantine the Great had gifted all of the West to Pope Sylvester I, in gratitude for his baptism. There is, of course, no evidence of Sylvester ever exercising imperial powers, and the document was determined to be a forgery in the 15th century. But beyond the Donation, Gregory could also point to the fact that emperors had received the imperial anointing and crown from the hands of the pope since Charlemagne. 
    	What was new was the vehemence with which Gregory pursued his claims. After a bitter exchange between pope and emperor over ecclesiastical governance, he attempted to break the impasse by excommunicating and deposing Henry. Conversely, the emperors asserted that God had charged the temporal authorities with the protection and guidance of the Church of God. After all, the German emperors before Henry IV had confirmed papal elections, resolved ecclesiastical disputes, regulated dioceses, and appointed their bishops.  
    In conjunction with these disputes, supporters of each side formed political factions and thus found themselves at odds with their rivals. The Guelphs and Ghibellines fought several conflicts in Italy in the 12th and 13th centuries, and they were significant in laying the grounds for the independence of the Italian city-states, as well as for Germany.

    These days, hot chicken is a "must-try" Southern food. Restaurants in New York, Detroit, Cambridge, and even Australia advertise that they fry their chicken "Nashville-style." Thousands of people attend the Music City Hot Chicken Festival each year. The James Beard Foundation has given Prince's Chicken Shack an American Classic Award for inventing the dish. 
     
     
     
    But for almost seventy years, hot chicken was made and sold primarily in Nashville's Black neighborhoods—and the story of hot chicken says something powerful about race relations in Nashville, especially as the city tries to figure out what it will be in the future. 
     
     
     
    Hot, Hot Chicken recounts the history of Nashville's Black communities through the story of its hot chicken scene from the Civil War, when Nashville became a segregated city, through the tornado that ripped through North Nashville in March 2020.
