Kathleen Arnold argues that liberal and Enlightenment notions of the social contract, rationality and egalitarianism -- the ideas that constitute norms of good citizenship -- have an inextricable relationship to violence. According to this dynamic, targets of abuse are not rational, make bad choices, are unable to negotiate with their abusers, or otherwise violate norms of the social contract; they are, thus, second-class citizens. In fact, as Arnold shows, drawing from Nietzsche and Foucault's theories of power and arguing against much of the standard policy literature on domestic violence, the very mechanisms that purportedly help targets of domestic abuse actually work to compound the problem by exacerbating (or ignoring) the power differences between the abuser and the abused. The book argues that a key to understanding how to prevent domestic violence is seeing it as a political rather than a personal issue, with political consequences. It seeks to challenge Enlightenment ideas about intimacy that conceive of personal relationships as mutual, equal and contractual. Put another way, it challenges policy ideas that suggest that targets of abuse can simply choose to leave abusive relationships without other personal or economic consequences, or that there is a clear and consistent level of help once they make the choice to leave. \n\nAsking \"Why Don't You Just Talk to Him?\" is in reality a suggestion riven with contradictions and false choices. Arnold further explores these issues by looking at two key asylum cases that highlight contradictions within the government's treatment of foreigners and that of long-term residents. These cases expose problematic assumptions in the approach to domestic violence more generally. Exposing major injustices from the point of view of domestic violence targets, this book promises to generate further debate, if not consensus.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49528720883985,"sku":"GOR013474844","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50345304195345,"sku":"CIN0190262281G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52433661559057,"sku":"NLS9780190262280","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0190262281.jpg?v=1751100841"},{"product_id":"migrant-protest-and-democratic-states-of-exception-book-kathleen-r-arnold-9781032245591","title":"Migrant Protest and Democratic States of Exception","description":"Recognizing the radical disparity between migration\/border policy and constitutional law “inside these borders,” Kathleen R.

The political status of immigrants exposes the power dynamics of the “new working class,” which includes the former labor aristocracy, women, and people of color. This new working class suffers exploitation in advanced industrial countries as the social cost of capitalism’s success in a neoliberal and globalized political economy. Paradoxically, as borders become more open, they are also increasingly fortified, subjecting many workers to the suspension of law.  In this book, Kathleen Arnold analyzes the role of the state’s “prerogative power” in creating and sustaining this condition of severe inequality for the most marginalized sectors of our population in the United States. Drawing on a wide range of theoretical literature from Locke to Marx and Agamben (whose notion of “bare life” features prominently in her construal of this as a “biopolitical” era), she focuses attention especially on the values of asceticism derived from the Protestant work ethic to explain how they function as ideological justification for the exercise of prerogative power by the state.  As a counter to this repressive set of values, she develops the notion of “authentic love” borrowed from Simone de Beauvoir as a possible approach for dealing with the complex issues of exploitation in liberal democracy today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52099403907345,"sku":"NGR9780271032771","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780271032771.jpg?v=1757085818"},{"product_id":"arendt-agamben-and-the-issue-of-hyper-legality-book-kathleen-r-arnold-9780815381068","title":"Arendt, Agamben and the Issue of Hyper-Legality","description":"Examining legal theory, political theory and discussing specific cases to illustrate its claims, this book operates on three levels to expose the degree to which prisoners rights have been suspended and how immigrant policy and detention cast foreigners as inherently criminal.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52482903867665,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52482904883473,"sku":"NLS9780815381068","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780815381068.jpg?v=1759853918"},{"product_id":"arendt-agamben-and-the-issue-of-hyper-legality-book-kathleen-r-arnold-9780815381051","title":"Arendt, Agamben and the Issue of Hyper-Legality","description":"Examining legal theory, political theory and discussing specific cases to illustrate its claims, this book operates on three levels to expose the degree to which prisoners rights have been suspended and how immigrant policy and detention cast foreigners as inherently criminal.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52522326196497,"sku":"NLS9780815381051","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53035334369553,"sku":"NIN9780815381051","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780815381051.jpg?v=1760576447"},{"product_id":"homelessness-citizenship-and-identity-book-kathleen-r-arnold-9780791461112","title":"Homelessness, Citizenship, and Identity","description":"In the aftermath of September 11, donations to the poor and homeless have declined while ordinances against begging and sleeping in public have increased. The increased security of public spaces has been matched by a quest for increased security and surveillance of immigrants. In this groundbreaking study, Kathleen R. Arnold explores homelessness in terms of the globalization of the economy, national identity, and citizenship. She argues that domestic homelessness and conditions of statelessness, such as refugees, exiles, and poor immigrants, are defined and addressed in similar ways by the political sphere, in such a manner that each of these groups are subjected to policies that perpetuate their exclusion. Drawing on such authors as Freud, Marx, Foucault, Derrida, L vinas, and Agamben, Arnold argues for a radical politics of homelessness based on extending hospitality and the toleration of difference.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53213400924433,"sku":"NLS9780791461112","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780791461112.jpg?v=1772754700"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-kathleen-r-arnold.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
