《反自己的暴政》是对博戈塔周边地区亲密伴侣暴力行为的有力民族志描述。约翰·巴德拉·海因茨问道：“如何可能在很长一段时间内实施这种暴力，这种暴力是如何被允许的，最终对参与其中的人来说有什么危险？”(p.（3）在探索这些问题时，他遇到了“充满矛盾的故事”（第4页）。巴德拉-海因茨并没有简单地描绘那些恶棍，而是探讨了这些暴力网络中的行动者生活中的紧张和矛盾，从受害者/幸存者到受访者，最重要的是，到施虐者本身。这是一本亲密的书，不仅因为它审视了暴力，而且因为它对施暴者复杂的人格有着关怀但又批判的接近。在大规模暴力的研究中，探索犯罪者的叙述有着悠久的传统（参见Payne 2008，Dawes 2013，Straus 2017，Fujii 2021）。其中大多数报道都集中在武装冲突中的暴力行为人身上。作为对这一重要工作的补充，巴德拉-海因茨将注意力转向了不同的背景和关系领域。这是《反暴政》最重要的贡献之一：哥伦比亚战争的回声塑造了本书中的故事，但战争不是主要焦点，武装演员也不是主角。本书对官僚机构和应对机制的关注并不主要是为了减轻武装冲突的影响，这提醒我们，当涉及到暴力时，学者们也是创造、加强或质疑可见度等级的一部分。每一个分析章节都代表了观点和视角的变化，同时也对亲密伴侣暴力的持续存在提出了不同的解释。第2章仔细研究了滥用者对他们的控制。
A Tyranny Against Itself is a powerful ethnographic account of intimate partner violence in the peripheries of Bogotá. John Bhadra-Heintz asks:‘How is it possible to commit this violence over an extended period of time, how is that violence made to be permissible, and ultimately what is at stake for the people who are involved?’(p. 3) In exploring these questions, he encounters ‘stories of deep ambivalence’(p. 4). Rather than sketching easy villains, Bhadra-Heintz explores the tensions and contradictions in the lives of the actors entwined in these webs of violence, from victims/survivors to respondents and, crucially, to the abusers themselves.This is an intimate book, not only in terms of the violence it examines, but also in its caring-yet-critical proximity to the complex personhood of perpetrators. There is a long tradition of exploring the narratives of perpetrators in the study of mass violence (see, indicatively, Payne 2008, Dawes 2013, Straus 2017, Fujii 2021). Most of these accounts focus on perpetrators of violence in the context of an armed conflict. Complementing this important work, Bhadra-Heintz directs his attention to a different setting and domain of relationships. This is one of the most significant contributions of A Tyranny Against Itself: The echoes of the war in Colombia shape the stories in this book, but war is not the main focus and armed actors are not the protagonists. In its gentle attention to bureaucracies and response mechanisms that are not primarily oriented at alleviating the effects of armed conflict, this book is a reminder that scholars, too, are part of creating, reinforcing, or contesting hierarchies of visibility when it comes to violence. Each analytic chapter represents a change of point of view and perspective, while also tracing a different explanation for the persistence of intimate partner violence. Chapter 2 takes a close look at the control abusers exert over their
