Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"In their introduction to this serious and highly ethical resource, editors Brad Evans and Natasha Lennard see themselves charting the legacies of war and suffering, challenging abuses of power in all their oppressive forms, and mustering sustained intellectual engagement to counter violence."-Spirituality & Practice Book Review "A timely, eloquent series of interviews that interrogate the correlation of violence with gender discrimination, white intolerance, unilateral state power, politics, art and climate change."-Shelley Walia, Frontline

Reseña del editor

There are a number of anthologies on violence, but none exist as presented in this conversational interview format, which provides a meaningful and sophisticated introduction into the most cutting-edge thinking on the problem of violence in the contemporary world. The market for this book includes readers of the New York Times, as half of these conversations were first published in their online philosophy column "The Stone." The other half come from the Los Angeles Review of Books. The issue of violence cuts across many disciplines of study and inquiry, and this book connects them through the eclectic range of thinkers, filmmakers, artists, and theorists with whom Evans and Lennard speak. Brad Evans has gained more public recognition in the U.S. given his editorial work on the New York Times's "The Stone." Natasha Lennard's work is well-known as she regularly contributes to Esquire, The Intercept, The Nation, and the New York Times.
