It analyzes the social context, history, and structure of modern violence, casting light on patterns and practices from America’s inner cities and prisons to “failed states” like Afghanistan. \u003cb\u003eViolence Today\u003c\/b\u003e also gives special attention to debate within the Left about violence, including a controversial defense of armed struggle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors:\u003c\/b\u003e John Berger, Leo Panitch and Colin Leys, Peter Thomas, Vivek Chibber, Christian Parenti, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Georgi Derluguian, Sofiri Joab-Peterside, Ulrich Oslender,  Achin Vanaik, Barabara Harriss-White, Lynne Segal, Joe Sim and Steve Tombs, Dennis Rodgers, Avishai Erlich, Philip Green, Garance Upham, Mary des Chenes and Stephen Mikesell, Samir Amin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leo Panitch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48274243453179,"sku":"9781583671818","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_d163de14-ab5a-4455-a98c-937302042555.jpg?v=1771256781","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/violence-today-9781583671818","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
