Maglione, Giuseppe (2020) BOOK REVIEW (2020) The Force of Nonviolence: An Ethico-Political Bind. Review of: J. Butler, (2020) The Force of Nonviolence: An Ethico-Political Bind, London-New York: Verso, 2020, pp. 219 by UNSPECIFIED. Critical Criminology, . ISSN 1205-8629. (KAR id:114601)

Abstract

Judith Butler’s latest book, The Force of Nonviolence: An Ethico-Political Bind, is a slender yet conceptually rich collection of essays animated by Butler’s distinctive intellectual intensity and political engagement. It is a creative inquiry into nonviolence as an ethical and political exigency—one inextricably linked to the pursuit of social equality. In addi- tion, the book’s saliency rests on its ambition to contribute to ongoing struggles for social equality (including gender and racial equality).
