This review is from: Against War: Views from the Underside of Modernity (Latin America Otherwise) (Paperback)
In this book the author provides a critique of modernity and the intricately linked philosophy of war. This is an advanced theoretical work that deals with extremely complex histories, theories, religious and philosophical works. The main thesis is that there is a warrior philosophy that is closely intertwined into the colonial thinking that is overlooked but is readily visible to those that are on the receiving end of the bayonet. It is not a history, but a theoretical analysis of Modernity and Western thought. This is not an easy read but a very good one, if you are not familiar with the philosophers that he draws from then I would recommend picking three (Fanon is a must) and read them before you read this book. It is worth the preparation for this is an excellent book.
