Bøger i The Cambridge World History of Violence 4 Volume Hardback Set serien

Violence is a universal theme in human history and a major problem facing society today. In order to confront it, it is essential that we understand it. This volume shows how many of the problems that the world faces today are rooted in the first age of globalisation: the period between 1500 and 1800.

Why do humans continue to inflict both mass and interpersonal violence upon each other? This comprehensive, global study examines violence and its consequences as produced in nation-states, colonies, institutions, and families alongside analyses of its commemoration and representation and significance in leisure.
