Situating the events within broader histories of state violence in metropolitan France and its colonial geographies, the authors interweave narrative accounts and photographs to explore a range of related phenomena: governmental and journalistic discourses on terrorism, the political work of archives, police and military apparatuses of control and anti-terror deterrence, the histories of wounds, and the haunting reverberations of violence in a plurality of lives and deaths. \u003ci\u003eTraces of Violence\u003c\/i\u003e is a moving work that aids our understanding of the afterlife of violence and offers an innovative example of collaborative writing across anthropology and sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTraces of Violence\u003c\/i\u003e is a highly original account of the Paris attacks.

This book, a 'collection of shadows' surrounding the 2015 Paris attacks, is a searing set of meditations on the impossibility and necessity of writing about disaster. I am extremely grateful to Robert Desjarlais and Khalil Habrih for what they have risked in choosing to write--and to write collaboratively\/contrapuntally--in the face of disaster.\"--Lisa Stevenson, author of \u003ci\u003eLife Beside Itself: Imagining Care in the Canadian Arctic\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Desjarlais\u003c\/b\u003e teaches anthropology at Sarah Lawrence College in New York.
