DESCRIPTION
In today's information era, the use of specific words and language can serve as powerful tools that incite violence―or sanitize and conceal the ugliness of war. This book examines the complex, "twisted" language of conflict.
This handbook of alphabetically listed entries is prefaced by an introductory overview that provides background information about how language is used to obfuscate or minimize descriptions of armed conflict or genocide and presents examples of the major rhetorical devices used in this subject matter. The book focuses on the "loaded" language of conflict, with many of the entries demonstrating the function of given terms as euphemisms, propaganda, or circumlocutions. Each entry is accompanied by a list of cross references and "Further Reading" suggestions that point readers to pertinent sources for further research. This book is ideal for students―especially those studying political science, international relations, and genocide―as well as general readers.
