Inspired in part by his lawsuit against the U.S. Secretary of Defense while serving as an active duty military officer, Skelly argues that our use of language in the construction of identities is unwitting, unreflective, and has engendered horrific consequences for tens of millions of humans. In contrast, he demonstrates our need to overcome sectarian modes of thinking and to engage in much deeper forms of solidarity with others by foregrounding a species identity. This book offers not only an academic reflection on the concept of identity but one that delves into the nature of the self and identity by drawing on Skelly's concrete experience of attempting to present a self-identity opposed to war in the face of the political, psychological, religious, and legal arguments put forth in a year-long legal battle with the United States government.Skelly argues that to create a new and more pacific human sensibility we must help ourselves and others to gain sovereignty over our social worlds and the definition of "who we are" by arming individuals with the tools necessary to overcome the definitions and categorizations we are subjected to in the construction of traditional notions of identity.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: DEItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 148mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 666gGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, Law & PoliticsAuthor: Jim SkellyRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
