How and why do rebel groups initially form? Prevailing scholarship
has attributed the emergence of armed rebellion to the explosion of
pre-mobilized political or ethnic hostilities. However, this book
finds both uncertainty and secrecy shrouding the start of
insurgency in weak states. Examining why only some incipient armed
rebellions succeed in becoming viable challengers to governments,
How Insurgency Begins shows that rumors circulating in places where
rebel groups form can influence civilians' perceptions of both
rebels and the state. By revealing the connections between
villagers' trusted network structures and local ethnic demography,
Janet I. Lewis shows how ethnic networks facilitate the spread of
pro-rebel rumors. This in-depth analysis of conflicts in Uganda and
neighbouring states speaks to scholars and policymakers seeking to
understand the motives and actions of those initiating armed
rebellion, those witnessing the process in their community, and
those trying to stop it.
