Courtwright develops the historical pattern of violence and disorder in this country. Where there is violent and disorderly behavior, he shows, there are plenty of men, largely young and single. Broadly interdisciplinary, looking at the interplay of biological, social, and historical forces behind the dark side of American life, Violent Land offers a disturbing diagnosis of violence in our society.
Review:
"Timely, rich, and surprisingly nimble, Courtwright's orderly examination of patterns of violence and disorder in American history ranges from the `passing migratory anomalies' that created the cultural ecology of the frontier to the critical collapse of familial mechanisms of social control in the inner city of today...An authoritative contribution."
Kirkus, 10/01/1996
Review:Whether in the cowboy bunkhouse of the last century or the gang crack-house of this one, young men have often wielded guns and knives to deadly effect. Documenting this male violence requires scholarship; explaining it requires cultural insight. Courtwright combines both in a work of compelling timeliness, showing that the same kind of male aggressiveness that once flared into brawls in Dodge City and Abilene is now erupting in the form of drive-by shooting in our inner cities...No one who cares about America's future can ignore Courtwright's disturbing thesis."
William S. Pollack
