Ethnic violence in the face of facts : The case of Nigeria.
Reputed as one of the most violent countries of Africa, Nigeria has gone through numerous conflicts, which don't correspond to lineage patterns only. In fact, power networks and ethnic identities first constitute a handy mode of mobilisation for politicians rivalling at State control and the resources thereto. Given such a viewpoint, tribal explanations of violence are profoundly reductive. Considered within the federal framework, which upholds indigenous rights, community disputes, in reality, obey dynamics « from below » just as those « from above ». Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
