Recenzje

'This is a phenomenal work of scholarship. Through masterful and deeply original readings of law as expressed in photos, film, texts, and events, Jothie Rajah uncovers the coded law underlying the violence the US has unleashed around the world during its long War on Terror. Rigorous, erudite, and deeply creative, Discounting Life is a truly stunning book.' Leti Volpp, Robert D. and Leslie Kay Raven Professor of Law, UC Berkeley
