The book examines Hannah Arendt?s ideas about politics and violence provoked by the horrors of totalitarianism. It applies the rich potential of Arendt?s insights to the wider cultural context and discourse of nonviolence. Through case studies of India and Iran, it presents a new way of reading Arendt?s understanding and critique of violence beyond the simple analysis of her work on power and violence.
