Book Synopsis


Trade Review
This is a theoretically daring thesis that challenges readers of Arendt’s work to think about violence politically—a conceptual framing that has historically been understood as a contradiction in terms...[T]hough this is an exceedingly well-argued and beautifully written book about (non)violence, it is also—and perhaps even more s —a text about how Arendt suggests we can, might, and should go about caring for the world, even if this means we need to be violent to do so. * Review of Politics *
