Summary: A comprehensive examination at cross-cultural violences.
Comment: This interdisciplinary reader covers definitions of violence and looks at violence in relation to law, gender, race, nationalism and class. Finally, it examines nonviolence alternatives as put forward by leaders such as Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.

I originally picked this book up as a supplementary reader for a course on Gandhi. I wanted to have more cohesive understanding at the many ways violence affects our social landscape. It, and others, has found itself in a well-respected place in my personal library.

While its language is more academic than layman, I think it is very accessible for those who have an interest in the social dynamics of violence. Its wide variety of topics are sure to interest all readers.

We need to understand the root causes of violence if we ever hope to stop it. This book is an excellent beginning to understanding our global culture.
