Product Description
Product Description
This book is about unpeaceful metaphors used in various social contexts. It is the outgrowth of a summer 2002 seminar on language and peace held at American University's School of International Service. The focus is on those figures of speech based on perceived similarity between distinct objects or certain actions that are employed to undermine stability, solidarity, democracy, human rights, and equality.
