Identity, Violence and Power

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the transformation of collective identities, the book explores how violence and power politics influence these changes. It illustrates how shared social practices shape identity and how these are disrupted by collective violence. Through three case studies, the authors analyze the dynamics of religious violence in India, ethnic violence in the former Yugoslavia, and anti-war protests in the UK against the Iraq invasion, providing a nuanced understanding of these critical transitions.
