Challenges the Western assumption that violence is an essential quality of darker-skinned populations. This book argues that Western imperialist projects are responsible for the violences that rebound in victim societies of the post-colonial world.

Savage Constructions challenges the popular Western assumption that violence is an essential quality of darker-skinned populations, arguing that Western imperialist projects are largely responsible for the current violences that ''rebound'' in victim societies of the post-colonial world. ''Rebounding violence'' expresses victim abjection and overly aggressive ''identity work'' in survivors of repressive regimes after long-term exposure to denigrating myths that cast the victims as morally wanting and deserving of the abuse they suffered.
