Reviews
A well-written and engaging study of why we must grapple with the bureaucratic culture of violence. I appreciate how Tyner moves between past and present--constantly reminding the reader of why the Cambodian genocide has important resonance beyond its own horrors. Ian Shaw, author of Predator Empire: Drone Warfare and Full Spectrum Dominance Tyner has written an important book on the biopolitics of bureaucracy, archives, and lists. His novel concept of 'necrobureaucracy' as a descriptor of the Khmer Rouge regime offers a new way of understanding the relationship between violence and state administration. An original and far-reaching piece of scholarship. Oliver Belcher, Durham University
