Reviews

This is one of the most unsettling scholarly works I have ever read. Adrienne Carey Hurley has produced a far-reaching, audacious meditation on violence that cannot be reconciled with existing therapeutic regimes, adult-centered political movements, or progressive antiviolence agendas. Her willingness to move her analysis across texts, state geographies, institutional forms, historical contexts, and racial subjectivities is awe-inspiring. It is no exaggeration to say that my political identity has been permanently altered by this book. --Dylan Rodriguez, author of Suspended Apocalypse: White Supremacy, Genocide, and the Filipino Condition
