Violence and Lies : The Exercise of Power from the Conquest of the Americas to the Climate Crisis

Taylor & Francis Ltd

Violence and Lies examines the relationship between violence and deception, from the Conquest of the Americas to the ongoing climate crisis. It revisits major historical turning points \u2013 including European colonialism in Africa, the Holocaust, 9/11 and the War on Terror, and the Rape of Nanjing \u2013 through the lens of lies and deception.\nThe book not only challenges traditional interpretations by offering fresh insights and categorising various forms of deception but also advances a theory of power. Existing theories have often overlooked or downplayed the role of lies and deception, placing disproportionate emphasis on violence, ideology, and other non-violent means. Deception has frequently been treated as secondary \u2013 an anecdotal companion to violence rather than a force in its own\n\nViolence and Lies\nThe Exercise of Power from the Conquest of the Americas to the Climate Crisis\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK deliver;
