Wounding the World: How Military Violence and War-Play Invade our Lives
Bourke, Professor Joanna
Summary
Wars are frequently justified 'in our name'.
Wars are frequently justified 'in our name'. Militarist values and practices co-opt us, permeating our language, invading our dream space, entertaining us at the movies or in front of game consoles. Our taxes pay for those war machines. Our loved ones are killed and maimed. With killing now an integral part of the entertainment industry in video games and Hollywood films, war has become mainstream.
Perfect for fans of Abuse, Politics, Philosophy & Social Sciences, Social Sciences, Sociology, Social & Cultural History, Social Sciences Books.
