许多人类学对土著社会战争的描述都将夺取头颅或其他身体部位描述为战利品。但人们对当代民族国家武装部队中此类掠夺战利品的盛行情况几乎一无所知。本书记录了过去两个世纪军事人员中此类不当行为的历史,探讨了其与殖民主义、科学收藏和种族概念的密切联系,以及它如何成为群体之间暴力权力关系的典范。
Many anthropological accounts of warfare in indigenous societies have described the taking of heads or other body parts as trophies. But almost nothing is known of the prevalence of trophy-taking of this sort in the armed forces of contemporary nation-states. This book is a history of this type of misconduct among military personnel over the past two centuries, exploring its close connections with colonialism, scientific collecting and concepts of race, and how it is a model for violent power relationships between groups.
