Description

Interventions: Activists and Academics Respond to Violence brings together top scholars to discuss the significance of violence from a global perspective and the intersections between the global structures of violence and more localized and intimate forms of violence. The contributors to Interventions examine many hard questions including: Are there situations in which violence should be politically supported? Are non-violent or anti-war movements in the US able to respond effectively to violence? Do we need to rethink our understanding of both "religion" and "secularism" in light of the current world situation? Have new paradigms been developed in response to violence? The essays in this collection offer incisive analysis of particular situations and creative alternatives to the omnipresence of violence.
