Shadows Of War Violence Power And International Profiteering In The Twentyfirst Century 1st Edition Carolyn Nordstrom by Carolyn Nordstrom 9780520242418, 0520242416 instant download after payment.

In this provocative and compelling examination of the deep
politics of war, Carolyn Nordstrom takes us from the immediacy of
war-zone survival, through the offices of power brokers, to vast
extra-legal networks that fuel war and international profiteering. She
captures the human face of the front lines, revealing both the visible
and the hidden realities of war in the twenty-first century. Shadows of War is
grounded in ethnographic research carried out at the epicenters of
political violence on several continents. Its pages are populated not
only with the perpetrators and victims of war but also with the
scoundrels, silent heroes, and average families who live their lives in
the midst of explosive violence. War reconfigures our most basic notions
of humanity, Nordstrom demonstrates. This book, of crucial importance
at the present moment, shows that war is enmeshed in struggles over the
very foundations of the sovereign state, the crafting of economic
empires both legal and illegal, and innovative searches for peace.
Nordstrom
describes the multi-trillion-dollar international financial networks
that support warfare. She traces the entangled routes by which illegal
drugs, precious gems, weapons, basic food supplies, and pharmaceuticals
are moved by an international cast of businesspeople, profiteers, and
black-market operators. Shadows of War demonstrates how the
experiences of both the architects of war and of ordinary people are
deleted from media accounts and replaced with stories about soldiers,
weapons, and territory. For the first time, this book retrieves from the
shadows the faces of those whose stories seldom reach the light of
international recognition.
