Communal Intimacy and the Violence of Politics explores the
notoriously brutal Philippine war on drugs from below. Steffen Bo
Jensen and Karl Hapal examine how the war on drugs folded itself
into communal and intimate spheres in one Manila neighborhood,
Bagong Silang. Police killings have been regular occurrences since
the birth of Bagong Silang. Communal Intimacy and the Violence of
Politics shows that although the drug war was introduced from the
outside, it fit into and perpetuated already existing gendered and
generational structures. In Bagong Silang, the war on drugs
implicated local structures of authority, including a justice
system that had always been deeply integrated into communal
relations. The ways in which the war on drugs transformed these
intimate relations between the state and its citizens, and between
neighbors, may turn out to be the most lasting impact of Duterte's
infamously violent policies.
