Anthropology of Violence has only recently developed into a field of researchin its own right and as such it is still fairly fragmented. Anthropology ofViolence and Conflict seeks to redress this fragmentation and develop a methodof crosscultural analysis. The study of important conflicts such as wars inSarajevo Albania and Sri Lanka as well as numerous less publicised conflictsall aim to create a theory of violence as crossculturally applicable aspossible. Most importantly this volume uses the anthropology of violence as atool to help in the possible prevention of violence and conflict in the worldtoday. «
