Reviews

This timely book is very much a product of the present era, which is marked by inexplicable violence worldwide and a determination to understand the root causes of violence and the mechanisms that allow it to perpetuate . . . The author takes a broad contextual, non-politicized approach, making a significant contribution to the literature. Including excellent illustrations, this book should raise awareness of the subject. --A. V. Coonin, Choice

This erudite, sophisticated book is far more than a series of case studies. The power of the argument comes from its elegant structure and the way Nethersole moves cumulatively from studying images that are related to actual violence to those where the violent representation is a manifestation of the skill of the maker -Caroline Campbell, The Art Newspaper Listed on Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles List for 2019
