What is The Anthropology of Fear - Intro about?

This introduction discusses fear from an anthropological viewpoint. It explains that fear is both an individual emotion and a social experience shaped by culture. While fear is difficult to study ethnographically, examining what people and societies fear most and how they cope with fear can teach us about them. Risk and what constitutes a risk are not universal but cultural constructions that generate fear. The chapters will offer illustrations of how cultures develop and shape fears.
