Anthropologists have made forceful contributions to knowledge on violence and its impact on human wellbeing. They have widened the World Health Organization's threefold typology of violence, with analyses that highlight structural and political violence, insidious forms of everyday violence that engender suffering, and the machinery of war. They have focused attention on visible and invisible forms of violence—the ramifications of power in armed conflict and the manifestations of suffering in everyday life. Recent anthropological work has examined the individual and social dimensions of agency and resilience and the political and structural dimensions of humanitarian intervention, to go beyond critical analyses of social suffering. This work makes a significant impact on understanding the social backdrop of violence and its interpersonal, structural, economic, and political dimensions. It examines how layers of violence intersect and are perpetuated or resisted, bringing nuance to the often made point that violence has nefarious consequences on health
