Truth, Silence and Violence in Emerging States (eBook, ePUB)

Histories of the Unspoken
Redaktion: Russell, Aidan

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book gives a comprehensive view of the ongoing evolutions and multiple faces of silence as a common strand in the struggles of state-building. It explores histories of the composed silences of political violence across the emerging states of the late twentieth century, not solely as a present concern of aftermath or retrospection but as a diachronic social and political dimension of violence itself.
