Anthropology of Violence has only recently developed into a field of research in its own right and as such it is still fairly fragmented. Anthropology of Violence and Conflict seeks to redress this fragmentation and develop a method of cross-cultural analysis. The study of important conflicts, such as wars in Sarajevo, Albania and Sri Lanka as well as numerous less publicised conflicts, all aim to create a theory of violence as cross-culturally applicable as possible. Most importantly this volume uses the anthropology of violence as a tool to help in the possible prevention of violence and conflict in the world today.

A Look at the Anthropology of Violence,
By John D. Cater (Montrose, Colorado United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anthropology of Violence and Conflict (European Association of Social Anthropologists) (Paperback)
The "Anthropology of Violence" is a fine collection of case studies, as interoduced by the book's editors. The introduction is worth the price alone, but the case studies add an incredible amount of information in just 229 pages. My only complaint (and a significant one, I think) is that the entire book deals with war rather than all forms of human violence. This is a severe drawback to an otherwise important anthropological work.
