In Educations in Ethnic Violence, Matthew Lange explores the
effects education has on ethnic violence. Lange contradicts the
widely held belief that education promotes peace and tolerance.
Rather, Lange finds that education commonly contributes to
aggression, especially in environments with ethnic divisions,
limited resources and ineffective political institutions. He
describes four ways in which organized learning spurs ethnic
conflicts. Socialization in school shapes students' identities and
the norms governing intercommunal relations. Education can also
increase students' frustration and aggression when their
expectations are not met. Sometimes, the competitive atmosphere
gives students an incentive to participate in violence. Finally,
education provides students with superior abilities to mobilize
violent ethnic movements. Lange employs a cross-national
statistical analysis with case studies of Sri Lanka, Cyprus, the
Palestinian territories, India, sub-Saharan Africa, Canada and
Germany.
