Description: ECOLOGIES OF HARM: RHETORICS OF VIOLENCE IN THE UNITED STATES - Megan Eatman (2020 Paperback) Review from another site:This book analyzes the ways violence and rhetoric “coexist” and feed into one another. Evaluating three specific types of violence (Southern spectacle lynchings, lethal injection executions, and torture employed during the War on Terror), Eatman evaluates not only the violent acts themselves, but the various debates, reports, and discussions surrounding them to demonstrate the way language and violence are often intertwined. This book is AMAZING. It not only opens your eyes to some dark factors of America’s actions and rhetoric, but it also doesn’t just leave you with an unsettling feeling. Instead, Eatman closes by answering the question “HOW do we address, engage, and respond to violence from within a violent rhetorical ecology?” It challenges readers to not only think about how to speak out against violence, but to examine the language and social practices surrounding it and evaluate how they feed into one another. Eatman argues that the best way to truly combat a violent rhetorical ecology is from within, which is where all of us, as Americans, reside. Finally, it leaves us with the reminder that we all have a responsibility to be antiviolent activists; and, as Eatman suggests, we have to do our work to change the system from the inside out. Ecologies of Harm is a strongly written book that is relevant to our country’s culture (both present and past), current political climate, and ultimate future as a whole. -- R.M.
