This book explores one of the most intractable problems of human
existence - our propensity to inflict violence. It provides readers
with case studies of political, social, economic, religious,
structural and interpersonal violence from across the entire globe
since 1800. It also examines the changing representations of
violence in diverse media and the cultural significance of its
commemoration. Together, the chapters provide in-depth
understanding of the ways that humans have perpetrated violence,
justified its use, attempted to contain its spread and narrated the
stories of its impacts. Readers also gain insight into the
mechanisms by which the parameters about the acceptable limits to
and locations of violence have dramatically altered over the course
of a few decades. Leading experts from around the world have pooled
their knowledge to provide concise, authoritative examinations of
the complex phenomenon of human violence. Annotated bibliographies
provide overviews of the shape of the research field.
