In this book, five essays that are written by Butler address the increased vulnerability and aggression that arose after September 11, 2001.[1] These writings explore themes such as: Interpretation and justification; violence, bereavement, and political engagement; indefinite imprisonment; accusations of antisemitism; a commitment to nonviolence founded on the recognition of the fragility of human life.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
