Who benefits from global violence and war? We discuss the new book The Hidden Structure of Violence
This week on Bread and Roses we talk about global structural violence with Jennifer Rountree, co-author with Marc Pilisuk of a new edition of "The Hidden Structure of Violence. Who Benefits from Global Violence and War". We'll discuss how violence is the result of our social order and necessary to maintain that social order, despite the fact that most of us believe that the violence in our world is inevitable and a natural occurrence.

Jennifer Rountree is research manager at the National Indian Child Welfare Association (NICWA) in Portland, OR. She has a PhD in psychology from Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center in San Francisco, CA. Her doctoral research featured a case study of one Maya community's process of self-determination in the context of current and historical social, economic, environmental and political issues. She has written several peer-reviewed articles on community development, social justice and cultural sovereignty for Indigenous communities, and is the co-author of "The Hidden Structure of Violence. Who Benefits from Global Violence and War".
