Recenzje

'Elements of Ritual and Violence is a slim but weighty volume that offers the reader an excellent overview of relevant anthropological, sociological, literary and philosophical literature on ritualized violence. Wide-ranging in scope, yet piercingly focused in analysis, it deftly interweaves disparate theories of ritualized violence from diverse fields while concisely critiquing each.' Candace Alcorta, Journal of Religion and Violence
