Elisabeth Weber-Häusermann Book order

The book explores the impact of US-sponsored torture, indefinite detention, and drone warfare through the lens of humanistic and artistic responses to violence. It examines iconic representations, such as the hooded man from Abu Ghraib, and lesser-known human rights violations, emphasizing the emotional and moral recognition they evoke. Through philosophical and poetic texts, it analyzes how victims communicate their suffering despite systemic efforts to silence them. The work prompts critical reflection on national security practices and the ethical responsibilities of citizens. An Afterword by Richard Falk concludes the volume.
