Holt, Rinehart and Winston
This is a study of a cultural system where violence is an everyday occurrence. Full treatment is given to the forms violence takes among the Tausug as well as the conditions that trigger it, the manner in which restoration of honor may occur once threatened or damaged, and how disputes and violent feuds become social processes with ramifications throughout the social system.
