Violence, its forms and controls, is fundamental to human social existence and is
central to theories regarding the nature of society, citizenship and the state. The
anthropology of violence addresses these points from a comparative cross-cultural
perspective. Emphasis is given to the situational nature of violence and human conflict
with case studies of warfare, political memory, state-based violence, struggles for
democracy and liberation, sexual violence, genocide and ethnic conflict.
