DESCRIPTION:Abner Louima. Abu Ghraib. The Humboldt Five. Extraordinary Rendition. 
 Lynchings. School Of  The  Americas. Prison Rape.\n\nWhether or not it 
 makes front-page news, make no mistake: Torture is an everyday tool of  
 dominance and terror in the United States. On the heels of Our Enemies in 
 Blue, his controversial chronicle of  policing, Kristian Williams once 
 again upsets the notion that “excessive force” by the state is anything 
 but altogether American.\n\nAmerican Methods is a damning audit of the US 
 record in underwriting human rights violations  around the globe. In the 
 last 25 years alone and under several administrations, we confront death 
 squads in El Salvador, genocidal campaigns in Turkey, brutal interrogations 
 done on our dime, even in our name by various “friendly governments,” 
 and more. Returning to our shores, Williams observes the banality of 
 violence at home—on both sides of the prison wall. What emerges is the 
 distinct character of American torture, particularly its emphasis on sexual 
 violence, misogyny, and racialized spectacle.\n\nUltimately, American 
 Methods offers devastating conclusions about the centrality of rape, 
 racism, and conquest to both the state and our national culture.\n\n11x8.5
