Description

Loss is a fundamental human condition that often leads both individuals and groups to seek redress in the form of violence.

But are there possible modes of redress to reckon with loss that might lead to a departure from the violence of collective and individual revenge?

This book focuses on the redress of political crime in Germany and Lebanon, extending its analysis to questions of accountability and democratization in the United States and elsewhere.

To understand the proposed modes of redress, John Borneman links the way the actors define their injuries to the cultural forms of redress these injuries assume and to the social contexts in which they are open to refiguring.

Borneman theorizes modes of accountability, the meaning of "regime change" and the American occupation of Iraq, and the mechanisms of democratic authority in Europe and North America.
