Violence and democracy may seem fundamentally incompatible but the two have often been intimately and inextricably linked In Ruffians Yakuza Nationalists Eiko Maruko Siniawer argues that violence has been embedded in the practice of modern Japanese politics from the very inception of the countrys experiment with democracy As soon as the parliament opened its doors in 1890 brawls fistfights vandalism threats and intimidation quickly became a fixture in Japanese politics from campaigns and elections to legislative debates Most of this physical force was wielded by what Siniawer calls violence specialists ruffians and yakuza Their systemic and enduring political violencein the streets in the halls of parliament during popular protests and amid labor strifeultimately compromised party politics in Japan and contributed to the rise of militarism in the 1930sFor the postWorld War II years Siniawer illustrates how the Japanese developed a preference for money over violence as a political tool of choice This change in tactics signaled a political shift but not necessarily an evolution as corruption and bribery were in some ways more insidious exclusionary and undemocratic than violence Siniawer demonstrates that the practice of politics in Japan has been dangerous chaotic and far more violent than previously thought Additionally crime has been more political Throughout the book Siniawer makes clear that certain yakuza groups were ideological in nature contrary to the common understanding of organized crime as nonideological Ruffians Yakuza Nationalists is essential reading for anyone wanting to comprehend the role of violence in the formation of modern nationstates and its place in both democratic and fascist movements

Rather than viewing the Apostle Pauls many references to peace and nonretaliation as generalized ethical principles drawn from Pauls background Jeremy Gabrielson argues that peace and nonretaliation should be understood in relation to Pauls biography of being a violent persecutor of Jesus followers After his Damascus road experience Paul zealously announced the gospel but abandoned his violent ways His apostolic vocation included calling and equipping assemblies of people whose common life was ordered by a politics characterized by peaceableness This political dimension of Pauls gospel in continuity with the earliest evidence we possess regarding Jesus and his disciples stands in stark contrast to the politics of both the contemporary Roman imperial power as well as those who would seek to replace Rome by violent means

The Violent Gift traces the narrative of the exilic author of the Deuteronomistic History a narrative that provides an explanation for the trauma that the Judean community in Babylon suffered As the book follows this explanation through the History however it also reads Dtr through the lens of trauma theory Massive psychic trauma is not something that can be captured within narrative explanation and trauma intrudes into the narratives explanation of the exiles trauma Trauma challenges the claims upon which the narratives explanation is based thus subverting this attempt to make sense of the exile The author argues that we can trace a single coherent narrative throughout the Deuteronomistic History that is an attempt to explain to its original readers why the exile occurred The narrative offers two reasons for the exile and these form the two main themes of Dtrs narrative the people failed in their covenantal loyalty to God and their leadership also failed to enforce this loyalty These themes can be traced consistently through all of the component books of the History
