by Ivan Evans

Book Overview

Deals with the inherent violence of "race relations" in 2 important countries that remain iconic expressions of white supremacy in the 20th century. Cultures of violence does not just reconstruct the era of violence. Instead it convincingly contrasts the "lynch culture" of the American South to the "bureaucratic culture of violence" in S. Africa.
