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.
