| Sumario: | This collection of essays deals with small-scale, interpersonal violence “which eventuates out of people's ordinary, routine and mundane social interaction” and “fixes the location of such violence in familiar places: the home and the neighbourhood, the pub or the workplace; the street or the back yard” . It portrays violence largely as a product of cultural and social interaction, gender and class differences, and distributions of state and economic power. This volume is essential reading for the understanding of British social history in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and of violence history more generally. |
