Theft of an Idol: Text and Context in the Representation of Collective Violence

Theft of an Idol: Text and Context in the Representation of Collective Violence Encourages us to look more closely at the issues of violence, ethnicity, and the state by focusing on specific instances of violence in their local contexts. This book shows how, out of many interpretations applicable to these incidents, government and the media select those that support existing relations of power in state and society. Autor: Paul R.
