Violence in War and Peace: An Anthology (Wiley Blackwell Readers in Anthropology)
- Used Book in Good Condition
From Hannah Arendtâ‚¬s â‚¬Å“banality of evilâ‚¬Â to Joseph Conradâ‚¬s â‚¬Å“fascination of the abomination,â‚¬Â humankind has struggled to make sense of human-upon-human violence. Edited by two of anthropologyâ‚¬s most passionate voices on this subject, Violence in War and Peace: An Anthology is the only book of its kind available: a single volume exploration of social, literary, and philosophical theories of violence.
- Brings together a sweeping collection of readings, drawn from a remarkable range of sources, that look at various conceptions and modes of violence.
- Juxtaposes the routine violence of everyday life against the sudden outcropping of extraordinary violence such as the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide, the state violence of Argentinaâ‚¬s Dirty War, and organized criminal violence.
- Edited by two of the most prominent researchers in the field.
- Offers a thought-provoking tool for students and thinkers from all walks of life: an exploration of violence at the broadest levels: personal, social, and political.
