Chilean journalist and independent curator Valentina Montero (born 1973) left her native country five years ago, relocating to Europe just in time for the continent's financial crisis. "I felt myself not only as someone coming from the end of the world, but also as someone coming from the future," she writes in By Reason or By Force. "In Chile the neoliberal model made its first roots over 25 years ago, leaving deep scars in a society [...] characterized by individualism, consumption, defeat and depoliticization of citizens' movements." In this book, Montero outlines some of the milestone events and moments that led to Chile's advanced neoliberalism, and its effects upon education and culture, detecting signs of hope in the lively student movement that emerged in 2011. By Reason or By Force is the third publication in Errant Bodies' Doormats series, which tackles issues of particularly urgent topicality.

General George S. Patton famously said, "Compared to war all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance. God, I do love it so!" Though Patton was a notoriously single-minded general, it is nonetheless a sad fact that war gives meaning to many lives, a fact with which we have become familiar now that America is once again engaged in a military conflict. War is an enticing elixir. It gives us purpose, resolve, a cause. It allows us to be noble. Chris Hedges of The New York Times has seen war up close -- in the Balkans, the Middle East, and Central America -- and he has been troubled by what he has seen: friends, enemies, colleagues, and strangers intoxicated and even addicted to war's heady brew. In War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, he tackles the ugly truths about humanity's love affair with war, offering a sophisticated, nuanced, intelligent meditation on the subject that is also gritty, powerful, and unforgettable.
