Editorial Reviews

With experience in New Zealand and the US as well as colonial Southern Africa, Zimbabwe-born Kinloch (sociology, Florida State U.) provides a comparative US-international analysis of major historical, demographic, economic, and sociocultural factors behind what are all-too-often "cultures of violence." In the author's model, societies are social structures in which certain types of intergroup relations may be situationally triggered. He stresses the need to facilitate group freedom and independence to maximize intergroup harmony, and concludes with social policy recommendations. Annotation c.
