The deft but nuanced way in which Ohnuki-Tierney handles this sensitive material makes the book of crucial importance to academics and non-academics alike—really, to anyone still troubled by the horrors of World War II or by the human calamities of our times.\"—Peter Geschiere, University of Amsterdam, author of \u003ci\u003ePerils of Belonging\u003c\/i\u003e \"Provides one of the best 'conjunctions' of history and anthropology we have.\"—\u003ci\u003eJournal of Social History\u003c\/i\u003e \"Few contemporary anthropologists write with the emotional depth and complexity of thought as Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney. In \u003ci\u003eFlowers That Kill\u003c\/i\u003e Ohnuki-Tierney takes on a most difficult task, asking how symbolic meaning changes—how symbols that carry core values become politically opaque, often subverting their moral content in ways that also subvert human action. \u003ci\u003eFlowers That Kill\u003c\/i\u003e not only shows the power of what we take for granted, but offers a compassionate acceptance of perhaps the greatest challenge to our humanness.\"—A.
