The entire handbook is a gem. It contains a wealth of chapters that conceptualize key concepts and issues in politics and society from the perspective of the Global South. Shireen Hassim & Anna Korteweg have been amazing editors. e-elgar.com/shop/usd/handb

What if we think of institutional ignorance as a practice and achievement rather than a failure? Using the case of the US military's responses to civilian casualty allegations as an example, we develop suggestions for researching organized ignorance. 1/
