{"product_id":"violence-amy-louise-wood-9780807872161","title":"Violence","description":"Much of the violence that has been associated with the United States has had particular salience for the South, from its high homicide rates, or its bloody history of racial conflict, to southerners' popular attachment to guns and traditional support for capital punishment. With over 95 entries, this volume of \u003ci\u003eThe New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture\u003c\/i\u003e explores the most significant forms and many of the most harrowing incidences of violence that have plagued southern society over the past 300 years. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing a detailed overview by editor Amy Wood, the volume explores a wide range of topics, such as violence against and among American Indians, labor violence, arson, violence and memory, suicide, and anti-abortion violence. Taken together, these entries broaden our understanding of what has driven southerners of various classes and various ethnicities to commit acts of violence, while addressing the ways in which southerners have conceptualized that violence, responded to it, or resisted it. This volume enriches our understanding of the culture of violence and its impact on ideas about law and crime, about historical tradition and social change, and about race and gender--not only in the South but in the nation as a whole. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy Louise Wood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807872164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807872161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.37w x 0.76d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2011 pg. 104","brand":"Amy Louise Wood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926315761919,"sku":"9780807872161","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_888a01db-d2ee-4f42-a6f9-3343523ef97c.jpg?v=1681082388","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/violence-amy-louise-wood-9780807872161","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
