Cultural Violence

Cultural Violence refers to injustices perpetrated against individuals/groups (human or otherwise) that we can discern in the realm of culture/cultural institutions, norms, or religious/social practices. These are a sort of permanent infrastructure, deep infrastructure. As a simple example, consider what happened to holy places and shrines of American Indians since Columbus arrived at the shores of North America. Consider the debates about the “institution of marriage.”
Consider the “dumb blonde” stereotype.
