Can we understand violence not as evidence of cultural rupture but
as a form of cultural expression itself? Ten prominent scholars
engage this question across geographies as diverse at their
theoretical positions, in cases drawn from fieldwork in Indonesia,
Cambodia, Mozambique, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, South
America, Sri Lanka, Spain, and the United States. This research
makes clear that within specific cultures, violent acts are
expressions of cultural codes imbued with great meaning for both
perpetrator and victim. "Unless the perpetrator's view is part of
our own understanding," editor Neil L. Whitehead observes, "how to
address the sources of violence will escape us." Covering
wide-ranging regimes of violence, these essays examine various
aspects of state violence, legitimate and illegitimate forms of
violence, the impact of anticipatory violence on daily life, and
its effects long after the events themselves have passed. In the
marginal spaces of global ethnoscapes, violence becomes a form of
cultural affirmation and expression in the face of a loss of
"tradition" and dislocations of ethnic communities. This book is
dedicated to the memory of BegoOa Aretxaga.
