Introducing a term to the sociological lexicon: 'postemotionalism', the author argues that the focus of postmodernism has been on knowledge and information, and he demonstrates how the emotions in mass industrial societies have been neglected to devastating effect.

Applying theories of 'post-emotionalism' to the issue of 'the bully' as a social type, this book includes case studies that focus on bullying and hazing, examined by the case of an American solider who committed suicide in Afghanistan, torture at Abu Ghraib, and the murder of a 23-year-old African-American inmate in a Southern state prison.
