For students and scholars concerned with population geography and social justice, Tyner (geography, Kent State U.) examines how states and other actors use acts of violence to manage, administer, and control space for political and economic purposes. Arguing that the body must be at the center of population geography, he considers how space is manipulated to facilitate the disciplining of people, for what purposes populations are constructed and regulated by institutions, and how fertility, mortality, and migration are modified for political and economic purposes. He draws from poststructural and postcolonial theories of Foucault and others to describe case studies of mass violence and genocide in the Vietnam War, the killing fields of Cambodia, and Rwandan genocide, and topics such as state-sanctioned violence, the deliberate targeting and killing of civilians in war, war-related rapes, and peace education.
