With her criticism of other neighbouring disciplines and her methodological approach defined in the first chapter, Claudia Brunner positions herself within the realm of decolonial theory, which she continues to describe in the chapter that follows. While the chapter is important for creating the link to existing violence concepts, the sub-chapter on Galtung's concept of structural and cultural violence loses the thread of argumentation that is otherwise maintained throughout the book. Readers might further be disappointed to see that Brunner dedicates the entire chapter to the analysis of concepts of white, Western scholars, without greater reference to violence concepts outside of this realm.
