Chamayou instead focuses on the concrete violence of predation, tracking, banishment, captivity, confinement, and the murderousness that goes along with them.\"--Jean Berard, Books and Ideas \"Easily accessible despite being packed with multi-facetted philosophical discussions and layers of archival treasures...
