Governing the dead: Sovereignty and the politics of dead bodies - Paperback

by Finn Stepputat (Editor)

Mapping theoretical and empirical terrains, this volume suggests that the management of dead bodies is related to the constitution and membership of states and non-state entities that claim autonomy and impunity. This volume is a significant contribution to studies of death, power and politics.
