Frames of War by Judith Butler
An exploration of the wars, looking at violence, gender and different forms of resistance. It details the media's portrayal of state violence, a process integral to the way in which the West wages modern war. It calls for a reconceptualization of the Left, one united in opposition and resistance to the illegitimate effects of state violence.
