While there is a tacit appreciation that freedom from violence will lead to more prosperous relations among peoples, violence continues to be deployed for various political and social ends. Yet the problem of violence still defies neat description, subject to many competing interpretations.

Histories of Violence offers an accessible yet compelling examination of the problem of violence as it appears in the corpus of canonical figures - from Hannah Arendt to Frantz Fanon, Michel Foucault to Slavoj iek - who continue to influence and inform contemporary political, philosophical, sociological, cultural, and anthropological study.

Written by a team of internationally renowned experts, this is an essential interrogation of post-war critical thought as it relates to violence.

Industry Reviews

From Benjamin to Fanon, Arendt to Enloe, these introductions, penned by some of the most important political thinkers writing today, shed light on the urgent need for a sustained reflection on the why and how of violence. This volume will inspire instructors and students and will make a necessary addition to any classroom curriculum. * Davide Panagia, University of California, Los Angeles *
Brings together insights from across the canon of contemporary theory in an accessible but thought provoking manner, and with a stellar cast of contributors. This is a remarkable collection that will no doubt become essential reading for everyone interested in the nature of violence. * Simon Tormey, University of Sydney *
