内容説明

This is an exploration of the reasons behind the higher rate for homicides among whites in the southern United States. The authors conclude that what makes the difference is not socio-economic class, population density, the legacy of slavery, or the heat of the South, but the traditional "culture of honour", in which a man's reputation is seen as central to his economic survival.

目次

  • Violence, honour and the southern United States
  • homicide-rate differences between North and South
  • differences between northerners and southerners in attitudes toward violence, insult, anger and aggression - an "experimental ethnography" of the culture of honour
  • collective expressions of the culture of honour - violence, social policy and the law
  • culture of honour - manifestations, explanations and destinations.

内容説明

This book focuses on a singular cause of male violence-the perpetrator's sense of threat to one of his most valued possessions, namely, his reputation for strength and toughness. The theme of this book is that the Southern United States had-and has-a type of culture of honor.
