In this book, a collection of experts investigate the varied forces
- from global systems to local beliefs - that lead to civil
violence, chaos and, perhaps, a new political order. The State,
Identity and Violence explores acts of mass violence occurring
within national borders and examines the links such acts have to
personal identities and how they challenge the character or very
existence of the state. Building upon the anthropological premises
of holism and cross-cultural comparison, this volume shows how
violent challenges to existing states should be conceptualized as
layered problems, with multiple kinds of causes. It not only goes
beyond the "ancient hatreds" explanation, but shows the inadequacy
of the concept of "ethnic violence" and of theories which treat
interests and identities as separate, sometimes opposed variables
