State Violence and the Execution of Law stages a provocative
analysis of how the biopolitical divide between human and animal
has played a fundamental role in enabling state violence, including
torture, secret imprisonment and killing-at-a-distance via drones.
Analyzing the complex ways in which the United States government
deploys law in order to consolidate and further imperial relations
of power, Pugliese tracks the networks that enable the diffusion
and normalization of the state's monopoly of violence both in the
US and in an international context. He demonstrates how networks of
state violence are embedded within key legal institutions, military
apparatuses, civilian sites, corporations, carceral architectures,
and advanced technologies. The author argues that the exercise of
state violence, as unleashed by the war on terror, has enmeshed the
subjects of the Global South within institutional and discursive
structures that position them as non-human animals that can be
tortured, killed and disappeared with impunity. Drawing on
poststructuralist, critical race and whiteness, and critical legal
theories, the book is transdisciplinary in its approach and value.
It will be invaluable to university students and scholars in
Critical Legal and Socio-Legal Studies, Cultural Studies, Race and
Ethnicity Studies, International Politics, and Postcolonial
Studies.
