Manifesto. 520 $a An elected politician is assassinated in the street by a terrorist associated with extreme political groups, and the national response is to encourage picnics. Thousands of people are held in prison-like conditions without judicial oversight or any time-limit on their sentence. An attempt to reassert national sovereignty and borders leads thousands of citizens to register for dual citizenship with other countries, some overcoming family associations with genocide in their second country of nationality to do so. This is life in the UK today. How then are things still continuing as 'normal"? How can we confron these phenomena and why do we so often refuse to? What are the practices that help us to accommodate the unconscionable? How might we contend with the horrors that meet us each day, rather than becoming desensitized to them? Violent Ignorance sets out to examine these questions through an understanding of how the past persists in the present, how trauma is silenced or reappears, and how we might reimagine identity and connection in ways that counter--rather than ignore--historic violence--back cover. 650 0 $a Border security $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Racism $z Great Britain. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Emigration and immigration. 650 7 $a Border security. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01742239 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908690 650 7 $a Racism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086616 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919930 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Electronic version: $a Jones, Hannah, 1980- $t Violent Ignorance. $d London : Zed Books, 2021 $z 1786998599 $w (OCoLC)1225548259 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517010904.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=79CE6F328FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
