RT Book T1 Structural violence: the makings of settler colonial impunity A1 Ruíz, Elena Flores LA English PP New York, NY PB Oxford University Press YR 2024 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1884479693 AB This text explores the structural features of enduring social inequality in the US and other settler colonial societies. In it, philosopher Elena Ruíz tells the story of how epistemic techniques and conceptual schemes developed in antiquity to support the accumulation of wealth generated by the industrial slave system formed the backbone of the colonial project in the Americas. The book traces how these techniques developed through colonial occupation and into the 21st century, and how they affected gender-based violence. Ruíz uses insights from anticolonial thinkers and systems theory to give an account of today's social oppressions as built into the design of settler colonial social structures and portrays the self-repairing and intentional features of structural violence as central to the ecosystems of impunity in which systemic racism and gendered violence emerge OP 456 NO Includes bibliographical references (pages [301]-450) and index CN HM1116 SN 9780197634035 SN 9780197634028 K1 Social Justice K1 Settler Colonialism K1 Racism : Moral and ethical aspects K1 Violence K1 Colonialisme de peuplement K1 Sociology & anthropology K1 Politics and government K1 Gewalt : Rassismus : Kolonialismus : Soziale Ungleichheit
