Schmidt Bettina E., Schroder Ingo W. (editors). Anthropology of Violence and Conflict

Routledge, 2001. — 240 p.Anthropology of Violence has only recently developed into a field of research in its own right and as such it is still fairly fragmented. "Anthropology of Violence and Conflict" seeks to redress this fragmentation and develop a method of cross-cultural analysis. The study of important conflicts, such as wars in Sarajevo, Albania and Sri Lanka as well as numerous less publicised conflicts, all aim to create a theory of violence as cross-culturally applicable as possible. Most importantly this volume uses the anthropology of violence as a tool to help in the possible prevention of violence and conflict in the world today.
