This bibliography entry lists the wrong publisher. *The Force of Nonviolence* was published by Verso, not Penguin Random House.
Full reasoning
The article’s publications list gives the 2020 book The Force of Nonviolence the publisher as Penguin Random House. But Penguin Random House’s own book page for the title says it was "Published by Verso". A Cambridge University Press review of the book likewise identifies it as “New York: Verso, 2020.”
So the publisher in this entry is incorrect: Penguin Random House distributes or catalogs the book on its site, but the publisher of record is Verso.

2013: Officier, Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, French Cultural Ministry
This lists the wrong French honor rank. Berkeley’s official announcement says Butler received the diploma of **Chevalier** of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2013, not Officier.
Full reasoning
UC Berkeley’s official news announcement about the French award states that Butler “was awarded the diploma of Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters from the French Cultural Ministry in 2013.” The same article explains that Butler was later pinned with the medal and repeatedly refers to the honor as Chevalier.
That directly contradicts the article’s claim that the 2013 honor was Officier. The year 2013 matches Berkeley’s account, but the rank does not: the 2013 distinction was Chevalier, not Officier.
