Violence and abuse in society Books
Duke University Press On Violence
Book SynopsisAims to bring together classic perspectives on violence, putting into productive conversation the thought of theorists and activists, including Hannah Arendt, Karl Marx, G W F Hegel, Osama bin Laden, Sigmund Freud, Frantz Fanon, Thomas Hobbes, and Pierre Bourdieu. This book explores dialectical relationship between domination and subordination.Trade Review“This volume provides a long-needed anthology of major writings related to the subject of violence. The readings include excerpts from classic contributions of Marx and Freud along with pieces by modern thinkers such as Girard and Bourdieu and social activists from Gandhi to bin Laden. The selections are skillfully chosen to address a central theme, that violence always takes place in a context. The readings explore the idea that social, internal, ritualized, and other forms of violence are part of the processes of life and not necessarily anomalies. This is a thoughtful and arresting set of essays on an important topic that will be useful in the classroom and much discussed in the public forum.”—Mark Juergensmeyer, University of California, Santa Barbara, author of Terror in the Mind of God: The Global Rise of Religious Violence“[T]his anthology is a triumph of editorial serendipity.” -- Steven Poole * The Guardian *“Even though its tone is unremittingly gloomy, reading through On Violence reveals an impressive selection of thinkers about this vexed subject. The brilliance of this collection lies in the editors’ courage to include unpalatable writings alongside noble ones.” -- Tim Roberts * M/C Reviews *“Offering an eclectic roster of voices on the subject, this useful reader also raises the suspicion that the history of violence is a red herring. The pervasiveness of violence makes it difficult to distinguish violence from change, or history itself. Violent change requires some kind of ethical marker to make narrative sense as history. Violence is never morally or politically neutral: context is everything.” -- Priya Satia * TLS *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments ix General Introduction: Theorizing Violence in the Twenty-first Century 1 Part I.

Book SynopsisAlexander Laban Hinton offers a detailed analysis of a former Khmer Rouge security center commandant who was convicted for overseeing the interrogation, torture, and execution of nearly 20,000 Cambodians. Interested in how someone becomes an executioner, Hinton provides numerous ways to consider justice, genocide, memory, truth, and humanity.Trade Review"Hinton’s book doesn’t just tackle the complexity of a character like Duch through the lens of the trial. It offers a way to understand the court proceedings, which can often be dry, convoluted, and peppered with legalistic jargon." -- Erin Handley * Phnom Penh Post *"Hinton’s intent is ambitious and unusual; recording is not enough. As he explains in his dense introduction, he wants us to understand this man, this trial and the questions it raises in our very bones. So, contrary to standard academic practice, he presents his material in an astonishing variety of ways. . . . Hinton’s book is profound, insightful and singular, probably even important. Most certainly a boon to anyone interested in Khmer Rouge history, international tribunals, torture or the ambiguities of evil." -- Antonia D. Bryan * Mekong Review *"The book draws on various literary genres in compiling a work which is artistic and scholarly, readable yet theoretically grounded, empirically rigorous and engaging yet approachable by people unfamiliar with the case. . . . This book will become standard reading for anyone studying the portrayal of perpetrators during post-conflict justice processes. . . ." -- Timothy Williams * Genocide Studies and Prevention *"Hinton has written a commendable work offering a new standard in the field of ethnodramatisation linked to the performative realm of an international tribunal where the hybrid nature of the court against the background of a shattered Buddhist society rebuilding from the ashes makes for real spectacle. . . . His book also stands out for its literary and philosophical innovations." -- Geoffrey C. Gunn * Journal of Contemporary Asia *"Hinton has written an interesting and insightful book, with a critical look at the way justice shapes and 'redacts' our understanding of the past, and an invitation for its readers to analyze our own way of seeing the world and overcome the simple categorizations we all use in our everyday life, which can have monstrous consequences." -- Sanne Weber * Historical Dialogues *"Hinton does the reader a tremendous service by not reducing Duch to a single identity. The book is certainly not a sympathetic take on Duch’s character, but it is a concerted effort to create a multidimensional understanding of a complicated man acting in complicated circumstances.... By using Duch’s trial as a case study, Hinton also addresses the many larger questions of transitional justice." -- Sharon Wu * LSE Review of Books *"Hinton expertly weaves trial proceedings, testimonials, and contemporary analyses of Democratic Kampuchea, thereby crafting an ambitious exposé of Duch’s trial and the various forces behind collective memory of him.... Man or Monster? is a thought-provoking literary triumph by Hinton" -- Matthew Galway * Journal of International and Global Studies *"The book, with its chilling but instructive contents, will benefit tremendously Asian experts as well as specialists on pogrom as well as researchers and students interested in the Cambodian story." -- Augustine Adu-Frimpong * African and Asian Studies *"Alexander Laban Hinton has written a highly engaging and experimental ethnography of international justice that narrates the criminal trial of Kaing Guek Eav (aka 'Duch'), a central figure in the 'killing fields’ of 1970s Cambodia." -- Richard A. Wilson * Anthropology Book Forum *"Hinton’s 'ethnodrama' of the trial of Duch is largely a chronological account, interspersed with personal commentary and even some poetic interludes that make it anything but a dry academic tome. . . . Man or Monster is unique in its appeal both to students of post-conflict socio-political issues and to the general reader, and is a major contribution to genocide studies." -- D. Gordon Longmuir * Pacific Affairs *"The book is a stunning achievement. . . . Hinton succeeds beautifully in drawing the reader into a confrontation with our own articulations and redactions of the world around us." -- Catherine Bolten * American Anthropologist *“Man or Monster? will be useful to those studying anthropology, geography, international relations, transitional justice and law, genocide, violence, and post-conflict politics. It will also be of use to those considering the very work we do as social scientists; how what we do is intimately involved in the frames of how others come to understand particular places, people, and events.” -- JoAnn DiGeorgio-Lutz * Journal of Southeast Asian Studies *“Compelling. . . .

Duke University Press Attachments to War
Book SynopsisJennifer Terry traces how biomedical logics entangle Americans in a perpetual state of war, in which new forms of wounding necessitate the continual development of treatment and prosthetic technologies while the military justifies violence and military occupation as necessary conditions for advancing medical knowledge.Trade Review“Attachments to War provides a set of tools that will be valuable to students and established scholars alike for prizing apart and connecting together these attachments in new and vitally necessary ways.” -- Kenneth MacLeish * Medical Anthropology Quarterly *"Terry’s work is eye-opening to a powerful new perspective on the American way of war. Her scholarship is well researched and carefully supported. . . . A fascinating piece of scholarship concerning a tragically understudied subject." -- James Sandy * H-Diplo, H-Net Reviews *"Terry’s work serves as a critical reminder that biomedicine, 'as both an epistemological formation and an industry,' sutures war to care, laboring to convince the public that the knowledge produced through warfare justifies its violence. The crucial work of dismantling US empire, Terry reminds her reader, is to reject that 'labyrinth of excuses.'" -- Jennifer Kelly * Radical History Review *Table of ContentsAbbreviations ix Acknowledgments xi Introduction 1 1.

Ohio University Press The Return of the Galon King History Law and
Book SynopsisIn late 1930, on a secluded mountain overlooking the rural paddy fields of British Burma, a peasant leader named Saya San crowned himself King and inaugurated a series of uprisings that would later erupt into one of the largest anti-colonial rebellions in Southeast Asian history.Trade Review“Return of the Galon King is a brilliant example of listening to one's sources, rather than talking past them. By trying to understand what the Rebellion Tribunal was actually about, not what we want it to be about, Aung-Thwin has created an indispensable work out of an indispensable historical episode.” * Journal of Southeast Asian Studies *“The Return of the Galon King is a valuable addition not just to the study of Burma, but also the study of Southeast Asian history as a whole.” * Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient *“Maitrii Aung-Thwin’s latest study of the Saya San Rebellion is a powerful critique of the existing historiography on the subject…. It represents an important contribution to the study of colonial Burma, particularly by introducing elements of post-colonial theory that have hitherto been absent from the field.” * South East Asia Research *“In a meticulous re-examination of the evidence, (Aung-Thwin) argues convincingly that the narrative of the rebellion was constructed by the colonial authorities from already existing colonial interpretations and reports of Burmese attitudes and peasant behavior. Thoroughly sifting the colonial record and the record of Saya San’s trial, the author shows how a picture of peasant attitudes and behaviour assembled in the half-century before the rebellion was used to define the events of 1930–1932…. For almost seventy years scholars have taken the colonial rendering of the rebellion as the starting point for analysis.” * Asian Review of Books *“An important contribution to Myanmar studies, historiography, and social science methodology.”

Ohio University Press Foreign Intervention in Africa after the Cold War
Book SynopsisIn Foreign Intervention in Africa after the Cold Warinterdisciplinary in approach and intended for nonspecialistsElizabeth Schmidt provides a new framework for thinking about foreign political and military intervention in Africa, its purposes, and its consequences. She focuses on the quarter century following the Cold War (19912017), when neighboring states and subregional, regional, and global organizations and networks joined extracontinental powers in support of diverse forces in the war-making and peace-building processes. During this period, two rationales were used to justify intervention: a response to instability, with the corollary of responsibility to protect, and the war on terror.Often overlooked in discussions of poverty and violence in Africa is the fact that many of the challenges facing the continent today are rooted in colonial political and economic practices, in Cold War alliances, and in attempts by outsiders to influence African political and economic systTrade Review“Why is this book a ‘must read’? In my view, it is because (Schmidt) manages to bring together a massive amount of information across a highly diverse socioeconomic and political landscape, organize it around a very persuasive set of propositions, and present it in a highly readable and compelling way.” * African Studies Review *“A counterweight to the often shallow perspectives on African events and affairs as communicated by broadcast and print media, which tend to be overly descriptive, short on evidence, and divorced from historical context.

Ohio University Press Foreign Intervention in Africa after the Cold Wa
Book SynopsisMany challenges facing the African continent today are rooted in colonial practices, Cold War alliances, and outsiders’ attempts to influence its political and economic systems. Interdisciplinary and intended for nonspecialists, this book provides a new framework for thinking about foreign political and military intervention in Africa.Trade Review“Why is this book a ‘must read’? In my view, it is because (Schmidt) manages to bring together a massive amount of information across a highly diverse socioeconomic and political landscape, organize it around a very persuasive set of propositions, and present it in a highly readable and compelling way.” * African Studies Review *“A counterweight to the often shallow perspectives on African events and affairs as communicated by broadcast and print media, which tend to be overly descriptive, short on evidence, and divorced from historical context. Libraries, be they local public institutions or at major research universities, would be well advised to include this title in their collections.” * American Historical Review *“[A] well-organized, easy-to-read survey of a very complicated field of literature … clear and succinct presentation of major factors driving foreign intervention….it is refreshing to have a textbook on the market that is clearly designed for teaching undergraduates.” * H-Africa *“Foreign Intervention in Africa after the Cold War should become the quintessential building block for future conceptual, theoretical, and empirical explorations of international affairs in and with Africa.” * H-Diplo Roundtable, 2 March 2020 *“Foreign Intervention in Africa After the Cold War is a laudable contribution to the expanding body of scholarship … about…Africa’s past and potential future.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Blackfellas Whitefellas and the Hidden Injuries
Book SynopsisIn December 1997, in a small town in rural Australia, a fight broke out among local Aborigines that turned into a full-blown riot when police intervened in force. In Blackfellas, Whitefellas, and the Hidden Injuries of Race, anthropologist Gillian Cowlishaw uses this vivid incident as a means of launching a larger discussion about race, identity, and racialized violence. Brings indigenous Australians into the contemporary global race discourse in a lively, highly readable ethnography. Explores the local and national meanings of a race riot in Australia and the entrenched racial binary evident in everyday relationships. Raises questions about history, memory, citizenship, respect, and abjection as means of considering the politics, social science, and psychology of race rivalry and indigenous marginality. Written by a prominent scholar with clarity, verve, and accessibility both for beginners and those well-versed in contemporary Trade ReviewWinner of the Gleebooks Prize for Critical Writing 2005, a New South Wales Premier's Literary Award "Would that we all perform our duties with the sophisticated balance of sensitivity, objectivity, and thoroughness that Cowlishaw shows in this work." Journal of Anthropological Research "[T]his finely observed qualitative study... poses questions that resonate far beyond the research site, exploring issues that will be of interest to specialists on settler societies as well as to students of ethnic and racial relations in general.... Blackfellas, Whitefellas is a powerful book... an elegant and compelling argument." Ethnic and Racial Studies "Everybody should read this book." The Australian Journal of Anthropology "This is an unusually important book for anyone concerned with understanding race relations in settler colonies--not only Australia, but also Canada and the United States. What can ‘multiculturalism’ mean when it comes to indigenous peoples and white majorities? A talented ethnographer and relentlessly critical thinker, Gillian Cowlishaw examines these matters with theoretical sophistication and compelling ethnographic description. She brilliantly helps the reader to understand how and why local people identify and act in racialized ways, and she demonstrates both the psychic gains and the personal injuries that inevitably inhere to race. Perhaps the greatest contribution of Cowlishaw’s book is the nuanced weaving together of a performative analysis of racial agency;…this is as much about the production of national white privilege as it is about local-level race-making. The reader---whether a racial minority or a member of a national racial majority---will inevitably see herself implicated in this penetrating description of race. This is the best kind of anthropology." Tom Biolsi, Portland State University "In this rich, highly readable ethnographic account, Gillian Cowlishaw seeks to reveal the ‘hidden injuries’ of race relations in a small rural town in north-western NSW. She eloquently develops her analysis around a particular social drama - a ‘riot’ that occurred in the main street in 1997, after police intervened in a fight among local Aboriginal people. ... Blackfellas, Whitefellas, and the Hidden Injuries of Race is a critically important study, and essential reading, not just for all anthropologists interested in Australia, but for anyone searching for a way to understand the everyday practices and performances of race and racism as well as the irruptions of full-blown racialized violence that become front-page news. Perhaps Cowlishaw’s most valuable contribution is the highly accessible way in which she articulates her discussion with the voices of Indigenous people." -Rosita Henry, James Cook University "Dense, well-argued, fascinating and insightful, the book offers fresh perspectives that seriously challenge contemporary understandings and accepted perceptions... Using the 'so-called' Bourke riots as a focus for a discussion of race and associated topics, Gillian Cowlishaw shows how powerfully a non-Indigenous author can address such circumstances... remarkable."

Book SynopsisThe first comprehensive overview to examine how sex and race/ethnicity impact the interrelationships among youth violence, violent victimization, and gang membershipTrade Review"Youth Violence is a thorough and clearly written analysis. There is no other work that systematically examines the intersection of violent offending, victimization, and gang membership with original empirical analyses. This is a compelling policy concern because it is crucial to understand whether we need customized prevention and intervention programs to address these different phenomena." -Cheryl L. Maxson, Associate Professor, Department of Criminology, Law, and Society, University of California, Irvine "Youth Violence fills a clear void in the literature. The major strength of this book is its exhaustive analysis of the GREAT (Gang Resistance Education and Training Program) data in reporting the distribution and nature of violence among teenagers and gang members. The authors have written a useful book that provides a unique big picture view of gang violence and victimization. As such, it should be required reading among those who seek to understand the factors responsible for gang membership, violence, and violent victimization." -Chris Schreck, Department of Criminal Justice, Rochester Institute of TechnologyTable of ContentsList of Figures and Tables Preface 1.

Temple University Press,U.S. From Warism to Pacifism
Book SynopsisIlluminating the moral views on violence, from the moral restraint ofthe just-war tradition through pragmatic nonviolence to principled variations of pacifismTrade Review “The book is strong when it exposes our culture’s uncritical acceptance of war, when Cady shows that violent means are not likely to result in pacific ends and that peace has a harmonic and cooperative content and is not merely the absence of war. Moreover, the author shows that the usual objections against pacifism are answerable….A worthy contribution to the discussion of the morality of war." —Choice “Cady is to be applauded for authoring a book which is a thought provoking and original contribution to peace and war studies. Teachers and students alike will benefit from his analysis which challenges us to critique the usually subconscious assumption of warism, to more critically investigate the ‘wealth of pacifisms’ which exist, and to explore the often ignored successes of nonviolence in history.”—Teaching Philosophy “With his fair, careful, and balanced presentations of the ‘richness and variety’ of the various positions on the moral continuum of war and peace, Duane Cady has gone a considerable way in making ‘constructive relationships’ possible. Consequently, all who care and think about the issues of violence and war are in his debt.”—International Social Science Review Table of ContentsPreface to the Second Edition Preface to the First Edition Introduction: A History of the Idea of Pacifism 1 Warism 2 A Just-War Continuum 3 Means and Ends 4 A Pacifist Continuum 5 Positive Peace 6 Objections 7 I mplications Afterword: Nonviolence and the War on Terror Notes Index

Temple University Press,U.S. Bullying
Book SynopsisIn her forceful social history, Bullying, Laura Martocci explores the bully culture that has claimed national attention since the late 1990s. Moving beyond the identification of aggressive behaviors to an analysis of how and why we have arrived at a culture that thrives on humiliation, she critiques the social forces that gave rise to, and help maintain, bullying. Martocci's analysis of gossip, laughter, stereotyping, and competitiondynamics that foment bullying and prompt responses of shame, violence, and depressionis positioned within a larger social narrative: the means by which we negotiate damaged social bonds and the role that bystanders play in the possibility of atonement, forgiveness, and redemption. Martocci's fresh perspective on bullying positions shame as pivotal. She urges us to acknowledge the pain and confusion caused by social disgrace; to understand its social, psychological, and neurological nature; and to address it through narratives of loss, grief, and redemptioTrade Review“A very useful and up-to-date discussion of the social-emotional origins of bullying.”— Thomas Scheff, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Santa Barbara“Martocci’s book offers a new and exciting interdisciplinary and sociocultural approach to the serious and complex issue of bullying. Her approach focuses on the psychosocial dynamics of humiliation and shame—how to understand this relational process and how to change the behaviors that restore people’s relations and identities. Bullying is complex and multifaceted work. I am greatly impressed by Martocci’s analysis and framework, which draw from social science and social theory, social psychology, and psychoanalysis. I am certain that Bullying will have a wide appeal to both academics working in cultural studies and educators, practitioners, and clinicians working on this social problem.”—E.

Temple University Press,U.S. Disruptive Situations
Book SynopsisDisruptive Situations challenges representations of contemporary Beirut as an exceptional space for LGBTQ people by highlighting everyday life in a city where violence is the norm. Ghassan Moussawi, a Beirut native, seeks to uncover the underlying processes of what he calls fractal orientalism, a relational understanding of modernity and cosmopolitanism that illustrates how transnational discourses of national and sexual exceptionalism operate on multiple scales in the Arab world. Moussawi's intrepid ethnography features the voices of women, gay men and genderqueers in Beirut to examine how queer individuals negotiate life in this uncertain region. He examines al-wad', or the situation, to understand the practices that form these strategies and to raise questions about queer-friendly spaces in and beyond Beirut.Disruptive Situations alsoshows how LGBTQ Beirutis resist reconciliation narratives and position their identities and visibility at different times as ways of simultaneously mTrade Review“Disruptive Situations is an eye-opening exploration of LGBT lives in times of war, conflict, and instability! It innovates a roadmap for how to document and conceptualize queerness and geopolitics in contemporary Beirut. Moussawi’s distinctive, timely contribution will surely leave its mark on transnational sexuality, gender, and queer studies.”—Jyoti Puri, Hazel Dick Leonard Chair and Professor of Sociology, Simmons University, and author of Sexual States: Governance and the Struggle over the Antisodomy Law in India“Disruptive Situations is a lucid and elegant inquiry into how LGBT and genderqueer Beirutis make sense of lives and identities forged through the multiple, unstable, and overlapping modernities of the city. Moussawi eschews Orientalist constructions of Beirut as the ‘Paris of the Middle East’ to explain these lives and their presence in the region. Instead, he turns our attention to the importance of the everyday—where city life is unstable, felt, and temporally marked—for 'queer' Beiruti flourishing. By teaching us how to think without the presumption of normal lives or stable times as anchors, Disruptive Situations is a work that arrives just in time.” —Chandan Reddy, Associate Professor of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies, University of Washington, and author of Freedom with Violence: Race, Sexuality, and the U.S. State“Ghassan Moussawi’s conceptualization of queer tactics in the context of local, regional, and global politics provides an urgently needed alternative to modern liberal concepts of queer life in Beirut and the Arab region more broadly. This brilliant and pioneering ethnography is uniquely and importantly interdisciplinary, bringing together critiques of space, global politics, race, class, and sexuality. Disruptive Situations will change the way people think about the global politics of gender and sexuality.”—Nadine Naber, Professor of Gender and Women’s Studies and Global Asian Studies, University of Illinois at Chicago, and author of Arab America: Gender, Cultural Politics, and Activism"[A] provocative book that unsettles disciplinary boundaries, centers the lived experiences of LGBT individuals, and de-exceptionalizes queer strategies of survival used to navigate everyday life disruptions in the context of post–civil war Beirut....

Bristol University Press The Concept and Measurement of Violence Against
Book SynopsisAvailable Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. The book is a guide to how the measurement of violence can be best achieved. It shows how to make femicide, rape, domestic violence, and FGM visible in official statistics and offers practical guidance on definitions, indicators and coordination mechanisms.Trade Review"This short but powerful book will be a game changer for all those claiming a role in making sense of and responding to gendered violence(s). Its message is clear and unequivocal. Unless all these stakeholders work towards sharing a commonly understood and co-ordinated measurement framework for the nature and extent of such violence(s), the chances of moving forward on this issue are slim. It is time to heed this message." Sandra Walklate, Liverpool University and Monash University, Australia."Accurate measurement of gender-based violence is necessary to advocate for changes in policies that will make a real difference in the lives of women and girls." Lisa Gormley, London School of Economics & Political Science"Shows why there needs to be a gender approach to data gathering and a really important contribution to understanding what needs to be done to improve it."

Ruth Lewis, University of Northumbria“A compelling case for revising the way in which data on interpersonal violence is collected. Without an accurate picture of the frequency, severity and, crucially, gendering of physical violence, policy makers and practitioners cannot hope to implement effective interventions to reduce the suffering of those subject to abuse from intimate partners and family members” Andy Myhill, College of Policing."An ambitious, theoretical, and practical conceptualization of a new framework for the measurement of violence against women and men."
