Zusammenfassung: Mass violence comes not only from states, but also from people. By analyzing mass violence as social interaction through survivor accounts and other sources, this book presents understudied agents, aims and practices of direct violence and ways of action of those under persecution. Violence can become socially hegemonic. To examine indirect violence, which is often imperialist in character, the book proposes the concept of conditions of violence.
