This book is a great starting point for students seeking an introduction to the theme and the critical discussions surrounding it. Our oldest stories are about conflict. This collection draws together discussions of violence and storytelling from a number of perspectives. Historical contexts range from ancient Greece to postcolonial Africa to the American West, and topics considered include the role of the witness, how place affects our understanding of conflict, the aestheticization of violence, how trauma is written on the body, and contemporary war stories. - Publisher.
