Cultures under siege

de Antonius C. G. M. Robben, Marcelo M. Suárez-Orozco

"This book is a collection of essays by anthropologists, psychologists, and psychoanalysts, drawing on field research in many different parts of the world. Profiting from an interdisciplinary dialogue, the authors provide provocative, at times deeply troubling, insights into the darker side of humanity, and they also propose new ways of understanding human cruelty and suffering."--Jacket.
