Beschreibung

Black Market Food delves into the shadowy world of the illegal food trade, revealing how consumer desires fuel a global network of food smuggling, impacting both conservation and international security. Discover the surprising motivations behind seeking out prohibited delicacies and the innovative techniques used to transport these goods across borders, circumventing regulations. The book highlights how this isn't just isolated incidents but a significant issue affecting endangered species and fragile ecosystems.

 
The book unfolds by first establishing the legal frameworks defining illegal foods, then exploring case studies with insights from law enforcement and conservationists. It examines the environmental impact, public health concerns, and global security implications of the black market. Through investigations into items like black market caviar from dwindling sturgeon populations and poached pangolins in Southeast Asia, Black Market Food demonstrates how consumer choices drive devastating consequences, blending true crime with food writing.

 
The book connects criminology, environmental science, economics, and public health, providing a comprehensive perspective on this complex issue and empowering readers to make informed choices. By understanding the criminal networks, ecological consequences, and economic incentives, readers gain insight into the hidden forces shaping our world.

    An investigation into the nature of violence, terror, and trauma through conversations with a notorious war criminal and hero to white nationalists. 
     
    Between October 2014 and November 2016, global terrorism expert Jessica Stern held a series of conversations in a prison cell in The Hague with Radovan Karadzic, a Bosnian Serb former politician who had been indicted for genocide and other war crimes during the Bosnian War and who became an inspiration for white nationalists. Though Stern was used to interviewing terrorists in the field in an effort to understand their hidden motives, the conversations she had with Karadzic would profoundly alter her understanding of the mechanics of fear, the motivations of violence, and the psychology of those who perpetrate mass atrocities at a state level and who—like the terrorists she had previously studied—target noncombatants, in violation of ethical norms and international law. 
    How do leaders persuade ordinary people to kill their neighbors? What is the “ecosystem” that creates and nurtures genocidal leaders? Could anything about their personal histories, personalities, or exposure to historical trauma shed light on the formation of a war criminal’s identity in opposition to a targeted Other? 
    In My War Criminal, Jessica Stern brings to bear her incisive analysis and her own deeply considered reactions to her interactions with Karadzic, a brilliant and often shockingly charming psychiatrist and poet who spent twelve years in hiding, disguising himself as an energy healer, while also offering a deeply insightful and sometimes chilling account of the complex and even seductive powers of a magnetic leader—and what can happen when you spend many, many hours with that person.
