Studies of violence in Africa often refer to ethnic wars and explicit conflicts and do not enter the hidden domain of violence that this book reveals through in-depth anthropological studies from different parts and contexts in Africa. Ordinary violence has its distinctive forms embedded in specific histories and cultures. It is gendered, implicates witchcraft accusations, varies in rural and urban contexts, relates to demographic and socio-economic changes of the past decades and is embedded in the everyday life of many African citizens. The experience of ordinary violence goes beyond the simple notion of victimhood; instead it structures social life and should therefore be a compelling part of the study of social change. 410 0$aAfrika-Studiecentrum series ;$vVolume 31. 606 $aViolence$zAfrica 606 $aWomen$xAbuse of$zAfrica 606 $aChild abuse$zAfrica 606 $aFamily violence$zAfrica 606 $aMarginality, Social$zAfrica 606 $aSocial change$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xSocial conditions$y21st century 615 0$aViolence 615 0$aWomen$xAbuse of 615 0$aChild abuse 615 0$aFamily violence 615 0$aMarginality, Social 615 0$aSocial change 676 $a303.60967 702 $aBouju$b Jacky 702 $aBruijn$b Mirjam de$f1962- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787966303321 996 $aOrdinary violence and social change in Africa$93849478 997 $aUNINA
