Violentologies explores how different forms of violence shape identity and political vision in both familiar and unexpected ways using Latina/o writers and performers as case-studies. Violentologies teaches readers to perceive differently the horrors, hurts, and sufferings of war; to diagnose and treat the sociality-of-violence that imbues our lives; and to allow glimpses of the social physics of peace. Olguín encourages and inspires us to engage in a form of auto-criticality that is derived from Anzaldúan, Freirean, and Fanonian insistences on critical thinking/doing/being. At every level, Violentologies is an original and landmark theoretical and methodological intervention that takes up, and goes beyond, previous contributions to revolutionary thinking. Arrayed here are original theories and methods that will advance any academic discipline committed to the study and deployment of liberation.
