Description
This book offers a perspective on socio-political violence: one that highlights the human experience of domination, resistance and terror as they are woven into the fabric of everyday life. These essays take the reader from the Americas, through Europe and the Middle East, and to Asia to capture the cultural construction of socio-political violence. The authors expand our view of the ethnographic reality, revealing the complex interplay among local, national and international actors in the perpetuation of violence and terror. The organization of the essays along a continuum from domination, through the emergence of resistance, to the development of cultures of conflict and terror underlines the value of understanding the growth and resolution of violence as cultural dynamics.
