Editorial Reviews
Review
"Among the many strengths of this book are its wide range of case-studies which succeed in demonstrating the multiplicity of forms that cultural expression in conflict situations may take on: parades in Northern Ireland, the politics of archaeology in contested Jerusalem, Muslim headscarves in schools in France, and the controversy over exhibiting the Confederate flag in public places in the American South. This is a first-rate work sure to make a valuable contribution to courses in political science, sociology, anthropology and ethnic and conflict studies."
Kevin Avruch, Associate Director, Institute for Conflict Analysis & Resolution, George Mason University
"This brilliant and much-needed book does more than convincingly illuminate how cultural narratives, ritual expressions, and enactments contribute to the escalation of ethnic conflicts. Marc Ross strikingly documents how and when new ones can be created that are more inclusive, and so contribute to the de-escalation of conflicts and to the solidity and endurance of conflict settlements."
Louis Kriesberg, Maxwell Professor Emeritus of Social Conflict Studies, Syracuse University and Founding Director of the Program on the Analysis and Resolution of Conflicts
Product Description
Ethnic conflict often focuses on culturally charged symbols and rituals that evoke strong emotions from all sides. Marc Howard Ross examines battles over diverse cultural expressions, including Islamic headscarves in France, parades in Northern Ireland, holy sites in Jerusalem and Confederate flags in the American South to propose a psychocultural framework for understanding ethnic conflict, as well as barriers to, and opportunities for, its mitigation. His analysis explores how culture frames interests, structures demand-making and shapes how opponents can find common ground to produce constructive outcomes to long-term disputes. He focuses on participants' accounts of conflict to identify emotionally significant issues, and the power of cultural expressions to link individuals to larger identities and shape action. Ross shows that, contrary to popular belief, culture does not necessarily exacerbate conflict; rather, the constructed nature of psychocultural narratives can facilitate successful conflict mitigation through the development of more inclusive narratives and identities.
