Summary
The book is an introduction to the study of violence. Using discourses from across the conceptual and geographical board, the author argues for a different way of understanding violence, one that goes beyond supposedly universal human traits to focus instead on the specificities of history, place, and population as explanations for it.

What is the relationship of gender and violence? What role do the media play?
