"Situating non-violence at the cross-roads of the ethical and political, The Force
of Non-Violence brings into focus the ethical binds that emerge within the force field
of violence. Non-violence is very often misunderstood as a passive practice that emanates
from a calm region of the soul, or as an individualist ethic with an unrealistic relation
to existing forms of power. This book argues for an aggressive form of non-violence
that struggles with psychic ambivalence and seeks to embody social ideals of inter-dependency
and equality. Only through a critique of individualism can the ethical and political
ideal of non-violence be understood in relation to the ideal of equality and the demand
for grievability. In this psychosocial and philosophical reflection that draws upon
Foucault, Fanon, Freud, and Benjamin, Butler argues that to oppose violence now requires
understanding its different modalities, including the regulation of the grievability
of lives. The book shows how "racial and demographic phantasms" enter into the rationale
for inflicting state violence and other modes of "letting die" by investing violence
in those who are most severely exposed to its effects and subjugated to its lethal
power. The struggle for non-violence is found in modes of resistance and movements
for social transformation that separate off aggression from its destructive aims to
affirm the living potentials of radical egalitarian politics"
