Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the roots of collective violence, this book examines diverse phenomena such as soccer hooliganism and September 11 through a historical lens. It highlights how social interactions lead to physical harm, driven by coordination among perpetrators. Charles Tilly posits that while collective violence is complex and unpredictable, it often stems from similar underlying causes. By identifying these factors, the work aims to provide insights into mitigating violence and fostering democratic societies with minimal harm. Tilly's extensive academic background enriches the analysis.
