States of Violence by Austin Sarat, Jennifer L. Culbert - 9780521876278
States of ViolenceWar, Capital Punishment, and Letting Die\nAuthor(s): Austin Sarat, Jennifer L. Culbert\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Cambridge University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Cambridge University Press\nISBN-13: 9780521876278, 978-0521876278\nSynopsis\nThis book brings together scholarship on three different forms of state violence, examining each for what it can tell us about the conditions under which states use violence and the significance of violence to our understanding of states. This book calls into question the legitimacy of state uses of violence and mounts a sustained effort at interpretation, sense making, and critique. It suggests that condemning the state's decisions to use lethal force is not a simple matter of abolishing the death penalty or to take another exemplary example of the killing state demanding that the state engage only in just (publicly declared and justified) wars, pointing out that even such overt instances of lethal force are more elusiv.
