Living in Death

Genocide and Its Functionaries

Übersetzer: Turner, Lindsay

Beschreibung

Living in Death descends into the ordinary life of people who execute hundreds every day, the same way others go to the office. Bringing philosophical sophistication to the ordinary, the book constitutes both an anthropology of mass killers and a challenge to the conditions that make genocide possible.
