Hannah Arendt and the Limits of Total Domination

_x005F_x000D_ The first book-length study to juxtapose Arendt’s concept of total domination with actual testimonies of Holocaust survivors, this book both confronts Arendt’s political theory of totalitarianism and calls for integration of the voices and narratives of the actors in the construction of political concepts and theoretical systems. Aharony engages with both well-known and non-canonical intellectuals and writers who survived Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps, and analyzes the oral testimonies of survivors who are largely unknown. Scholars of political philosophy, political science, history, and Holocaust studies will find this an original and compelling book.
