What explains these spatial differences in violence? In Keeping the Peace, sociologist Raheel Dhattiwala argues that peace during collective violence can prevail even amid intergroup hostility and impassioned political motivations. Marshalling first-hand evidence from Hindu-Muslim violence in Gujarat in 2002, this book provides the link between the macro level of political ideologies leading to mass violence and the necessary micro conditions for violence to actually happen. Dhattiwala begins by systematically demonstrating the political logic of violence in Gujarat: the worst attacks on Muslims were orchestrated where the BJP faced the toughest electoral competition. Yet peace had prevailed in several places through a complex interplay of spatial layouts and the cognitive decisions of people caught in the middle of violence. Rarely did attackers and targets of the violence abandon reason even in the face of heightened emotions. Risk-averse attackers adopted spatial strategies to assess the vulnerability of the targets, and targets of violence used unorthodox means of sustaining peace, such as enforcement mechanisms, in order to fortify cooperation from co-ethnics. Dhattiwala further argues that despite intergroup hostility people can collectively work towards fulfilling common goals of the neighbourhood by forging positive alliances, even when superficial. Armed with fine-grained statistical analyses and interviews with victims and perpetrators over five years in Ahmedabad, the empirical data from the Gujarat violence makes a strong case for peacekeeping during collective violence, regardless of regional context"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Explaining Variation in Violence: An Introduction -- Peace and Violence: Concepts and Theory -- The Political Logic of Violence: Anti-Muslim Pogrom in Gujarat -- Ahmedabad -- Spatial Configuration: Variation in Violence across Neighbourhoods -- Monitoring and Control in Two Peaceful Neighbourhoods -- So Near, and Yet So Far: Neighbour Relations Between Victims and -- Perpetrators of Violence -- The BJP's Muslim Supporters in Ahmedabad -- Ethnic Violence: Connecting the Macro with the Micro. 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Violence $z Gujarat. $z Gujarat. 650 0 $a Ethnic conflict $z Gujarat. $z Gujarat. 650 0 $a Hinduism $x Islam. $x Islam. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008105634 651 0 $a Gujarat (India) $x History $x History $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Political violence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069902 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093763 650 7 $a Religion and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093842 651 7 $a India $z Gujarat. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01213726 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211021753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F9F42B980CF511EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
