About this work

Description

"Violence remains one of the most complex problems facing our societies. The problem is multiple, comes in various forms and affects us all in one way or another. How we respond must begin with the power of education in innovative and accessible ways. Bringing together established academics and award-winning comic book writers and illustrators, Portraits of Violence takes up this challenge by introducing the most compelling ideas and episodes in the critique of violence. Hannah Arendt, Franz Fanon, Brad Evans, Edward Said, Paolo Freire, Michel Foucault, Susan Sontag, Noam Chomsky, Judith Butler and Giorgio Agamben each have ten pages to tell their story in this innovative graphic title."--From publisher.
