Most studies of violence in the Middle East and South Asia come
from the perspective of honour or political violence. By contrast,
this important study offers a new perspective on its causes in
Pakistan's unruly North-West Frontier Province, challenging
stereotyped images of a region and people miscast as extremist and
militant. Based on an in-depth study of local conflicts, the book
sheds light on the complexities of violence, not only at the
structural or systemic level, but also as experienced by the men
involved in lethal conflict.In this way, the book provides a
subjective and experiential approach to violence that is applicable
beyond the field locality and relevant for advancing the study of
violence in the Middle East and South Asia. 'We should make the
best possible use of this analysis: for its daring perspectives,
extreme empirical findings, and wide relevance. It deserves a very
careful reading for its contributions to so many aspects of our
understanding of honour, politics and human society' - Fredrik
Barth.
