Cultures of insecurity : states, communities, and the production of danger

"Genodcide in Rwanda, instability in the Middle East, anarchy on the Internet—insecurities abound. But do they occur "naturally," or are they, as this pathbreaking volume suggests, cultural and social productions? Bringing together scholars from political science and anthropology, this collectio of essays redirects long-standing views on culture as both a source of insecurity and an object of analysis." -- from cover
