Nothing could be further from the truth, as the author argues in this book. The unpleasant fact, as he reveals in this study, is that American violence is inextricably woven into the fabric of our national heritage and experience. He traces our modern day conception of violence from the struggle to survive on the American frontier, through evolving gender roles in recent centuries, to the hysteria surrounding video and role playing games and the more recent disturbing phenomenon of school shootings. He shapes nothing less than a profound meditation on American violence and a "primer" on understanding what can often appear to be a profoundly dangerous nation. In addition to serving as an overview of the state of violence in America, the book also suggests ways of combating the trends that lead to tragedy. 000351854 650_0 $$aViolence$$zUnited States. 000351854 650_0 $$aViolence in men$$zUnited States. 000351854 650_0 $$aViolence in popular culture$$zUnited States. 000351854 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000351854 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aStrain, Christopher B., 1970-$$tReload.$$dNashville : Vanderbilt University Press, 2010$$z9780826517425$$w(DLC) 2010020351$$w(OCoLC)548642378 000351854 8520_ $$bacq 000351854 85280 $$bebk$$hProquest Ebook Central 000351854 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3040066$$zOnline Access 000351854 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:351854$$pGLOBAL_SET 000351854 980__ $$aEBOOK 000351854 980__ $$aBIB 000351854 982__ $$aEbook 000351854 983__ $$aOnline
