In Resilient Communities, Jana Krause focuses on civilian agency
and mobilization 'from below' and explains violence and
non-violence in communal wars. Drawing on extensive field research
on ethno-religious conflicts in Ambon/Maluku Province in eastern
Indonesia and Jos/Plateau State in central Nigeria, this book shows
how civilians responded to local conflict dynamics very
differently, evading, supporting, or collectively resisting armed
groups. Combining evidence collected from more than 200 interviews
with residents, community leaders, and former fighters, local
scholarly work (in Indonesian), and local newspaper-based event
data analysis, this book explains civilian mobilization, militia
formation, and conflict escalation. The book's comparison of
vulnerable mixed communities and (un)successful prevention efforts
demonstrates how under courageous leadership resilient communities
can emerge that adapt to changing conflict zones and collectively
prevent killings. By developing the concepts of communal war and
social resilience, Krause extends our understanding of local
violence, (non-)escalation, and implications for prevention.
