Violence is usually located outside the democratic domain, implying thereby that its recurrence marks less of-and ironically at the same time - a direct threat to democracy. This book contests and demystifies the celebrationist understanding of democracy and argues that violence is embedded in democracy as much as democracy is embedded in violence. Their mutually embedded nature has only helped make democracy violent and violence democratic.
