Read the Introduction.
Culture is the lens through which we make sense of the world. In
any conflict, from petty disputes to wars between nation-states,
the players invariably view that conflict through the filter of
their own cultural experiences. This innovative volume prompts us
to pause and think through our most fundamental assumptions about
how conflict arises and how it is resolved.
Even as certain culturally based disputes, such as the
high-profile cases in which an immigrant engages in conduct
considered normal in the homeland but which is explicitly illegal
in his/her new country, enter public consciousness, many of the
most basic intersections of culture and conflict remain unexamined.
How are some processes cultured, gendered, or racialized? In what
ways do certain groups and cultures define such concepts as
"justice" and "fairness" differently? Do women and men perceive
events in similar fashion, use different reasoning, or emphasize
disparate values and goals?
Spanning a wide array of disciplines, from anthropology and
psychology to law and business, and culling dozens of intriguing
essays, The Culture and Conflict Reader is edited for maximum
pedagogical usefulness and represents a bedrock text for anyone
interested in conflict and dispute resolution.
