Abstract
We now come to the heart of our concerns: the matter of violence. Where prior research has tended to focus on the question ‘how is violence produced’ we argue that this needs to be complemented by asking ‘what is produced by violence?’ Correspondingly, the core question in this chapter is how violence serves to transform identity.
