Editorial Reviews

This first volume in a new series comprises nine contributions originally presented at a workshop supported by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Berlin in August, 1994. Topics range from right-wing violence in North America to the development, patterns, and causes of violence against foreigners in Germany, to violence in post-war Japan. The volume went to press just after the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City; though written before the event, these contributions discuss highly relevant issues. Distributed by ISBS.
