1.5 stars for still being relevant for today and challenging the way Westerners conceptualize violence today. Not any more than that because it is largely repetitive, long-winded, and generally disorganized. Much of his proposed solutions to the colonial question are ideal, but place a lot of faith in nationalism, which has become more and more problematic since this book’s publication

Minor: Domestic abuse
The entire last section/essay is a detailed list of case studies on survivors of torture, mass shootings, generalized violence, and more. There is even one about an officer who tortured citizens and also committed violence against his family.riverofpages's review against another edition
