Mali is often depicted as a successor state of the Ancient Mali
Empire. Since 2012, a lasting political, social, and security
crisis has engulfed the country. Non-state armed groups, community
militias, and fundamental Islamist fighters, have been wreaking
havoc in a state that was praised for its diversity and religious
tolerance. Amidst these violent conflicts, various narratives have
been employed to mobilize support for Mali. These narratives have
not prevented the rise of community-centered strategies for
survival. Fula, the largest West African community, has often been
associated with narratives related to violent conflict. Subjective
appropriations have fueled peacebuilding and warmongering. National
Narratives of Mali: Fula Communities in Times of Crisis analyzes
the narratives employed in Mali by actors in the field to justify
their actions and strategies. Dougoukolo Alpha Oumar Ba Konare
studies the reactions from Fula communities that have experienced
and created narratives of their own, based on their own senses of
identity.
