Epilogue -- Bibliography -- Index.This book explores the politics of narco-killing and public attitudes to violence and death in the Mexican Drug War. It examines questions such as the culture of human sacrifice, the religious principles that sanction egregious violence and most importantly the society's complex response strategies towards such violence. Primarily a philosophical reflection, this study nonetheless uses anthropological, architectural and sociological methods to provide an interdisciplinary explanation to the visceral, commonplace violence taking place in contemporary Mexico.Political sciencePhilosophySocial sciencesPhilosophyCrimeSociological aspectsSociologyAnthropologyPolitical PhilosophySocial PhilosophyCrime and SocietySociologyAnthropologyPolitical sciencePhilosophy.Social sciencesPhilosophy.CrimeSociological aspects.Sociology.Anthropology.Political Philosophy.Social Philosophy.Crime and Society.Sociology.Anthropology.320.01Misra Amalenduauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut564538BOOK9910300617903321Towards a Philosophy of Narco Violence in Mexico1991416UNINA
