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.
