Violence and increasing public awareness of violence mark our
contemporary condition. September 11, 2001 made this condition even
more indelible. Cultural Shaping of Violence proposes that violence
cannot be described, let alone understood or addressed, unless tied
to the cultural settings that influence it. Its 27 chapters
researched and written by 28 scholars of seven nationalities,
document violence in 22 distinct cultural setting in 17
nation-states of five continents. Internal to each society, a
number of sites of violence may thrive, from the domestic sphere to
social institutions and political arenas. In whatever site or
guise, violence reverberates throughout the social fabric and
beyond. Myrdene Anderson is an associate professor at Purdue
University. She is an anthropologist, linguist and semiotician. For
a citizen-scientist immersed in many cultural works, Anderson
considers violence an imperative intellectual and pragmatic issue.
However, this book was a collaborative issue. A majority of the
authors are anthropologists.
