Jody Williams, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate (1997)
This remarkable work explores the sources and surfaces of violence –– public, private, political, symbolic, psychic. Scheper–Hughes and Bourgois transform our most fundamental understanding of what it means to be a victim, an agent, or a witness. In these times of war and violence, this book has a resonance that echoes from the classroom to the state house and the street. Homi K. Bhabha, Rothenberg Professor of Literature, Harvard University
Violence in War and Peace brings together among the most profound empirical and philosophical texts on modern violence. Scheper–Hughes and Bourgois have created a volume that challenges fundamental issues concerning the crisis of humanity that violence exposes. This critical and politically responsible book should be read by students and researchers alike. Bruce Kapferer, University of Bergen and James Cook University
"It showcases the great relevance of ethnographic research and writing compared to other approaches for thinking about violence and suffering. This collection will be an invaluable resource for teachers and learners, a comprehensive anthology for introductory classes, or a companion volume for more in–depth seminars ... the reader will find some of the best attempts of the best of the last century to translate pain, uncertainty, and absurdity of violence into an at least somewhat understandable format."
