This volume brings together leading sociologists and
anthropologists to break new ground in the study of cultural
violence. First sketched in Raphael Lemkin's seminal writings on
genocide, and later systematically defined by peace studies scholar
Johan Galtung, the concept of cultural violence seeks to explain
why and how language, symbols, rituals, practices, and objects are
so frequently in the crosshairs of socio-political change. Recent
conflicts in the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia, along with
renewed public interest in the repertoire of violence applied to
the control and erasure of indigenous populations, highlights the
gaps in our understanding of why cultural violence occurs, what it
consists of, and how it relates to other forms of collective
violence.
