Excellent- More about Violence: A Reappraisal
Political violence is a complex and multifaceted problem that has been studied by political theorists, intellectual historians, and social scientists. This edited volume brings together essays by these scholars to reflect on classic questions about political violence, such as whether it can create freedom, and if the cost of violent liberation is too high. The volume also features contributions on contemporary debates such as climate change, police violence, and the violence of speech. The essays reveal political violence to be an experimental, theoretical activity that has enabled and frustrated the ambitions of the left.

Political violence is a complex and multifaceted issue that has been debated for centuries. While some argue that it can be a tool for liberation and social change, others believe that it can lead to destruction and violence. This edited volume brings together essays by political theorists, intellectual historians, and other social scientists to explore these questions anew.
The chapters in this volume revisit major political theorists of anticolonial violence, such as the Vietnamese Ho Chi Minh, the American George Jackson, and the Kurdish Abdullah Öcalan. They also revisit canonical yet misunderstood writers like the French syndicalist Georges Sorel and the American feminist Valerie Solanas.
Beyond major figures and intellectuals, the volume also features contributions on pressing contemporary debates like climate change, police violence, and the violence of speech. Together, these essays reveal political violence to be first and foremost an experimental, theoretical activity that has both enabled and frustrated the ambitions of the left.
This book will be beneficial reading for students and researchers of Political Science, History, and Sociology. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of New Political Science.
