Global Rage after the Cold War

Shedding light on the intersection of identity construction, perceptions of others, and violence, Rusciano argues that global rage results from a nation's loss of status. This leads to dislocation, a loss of identity, and ultimately a wrath that makes individuals want to strike out at those they perceive responsible. A comparative examination that includes China, South Asia, the United States and the Third World, this book increases understanding of the sources of instability.
