«Ethnic Conflict and Civic Life» is the historical essay by Ashutosh Varshney, published by Oxford University Press in hardback (382 pages, in English).
The book explores why violence between Hindus and Muslims erupts in some Indian cities and not others. Comparing pairs of cities with contrasting histories, it shows that integrated civic associations, such as trade unions or parties, can curb outbreaks and act as agents of peace against those seeking to polarize.
Published in 2002, it was awarded the APSA Luebbert Prize in 2003.
For researchers, political scientists, and policymakers interested in ethnic conflicts and interreligious coexistence in South Asia.
