 Violent Conflict in the 21st. Century - Social Identity, Group Loyalty, and Intergroup Conflict
The specific form of violence I want to talk about is what I call the deadly ethnic riot: that intense, sudden, but not necessarily wholly unplanned, lethal attack by civilian members of one ethnic group on civilian members of another, the victims chosen because of their group membership.
It needs to be one that crystallizes the unsatisfactory state of group relations or threatens the position of the group that then initiates the violence, and the precipitant must be significant in that it constitutes both a threat and a justification.
At another level, one can speak of group loyalties sufficient to create severe conflicts over the nature of the state and the place of groups within it, that is, sufficient to create exclusionary political institutions in which, for example, immigrants are excluded.

By the mid 13th century, however, Africans led by the Mandingo ethnic group and the Keita family were able to annex smaller states and create a federation of societies that became known as the Mali empire.
Groupings of Africans could just as easily re-form in response to impulses such as the decentralization of power in a large empire, the erosion of strategic alliances with neighboring groups, or invasions and/or conquests which might accelerate instability.
Groups such as the Nation of Islam and the Moorish Science Temple filled the Africana nationalist vacuum left by the fragmentation of the UNIA, which also nevertheless continued to operate in the wake of Garvey's deportation in 1927.

Previous terms used to identify American fls were conferred upon the group by whites and were included in the wording of various laws and legal decisions which became tools of white supremacy and oppression.
They defiantly embraced ''fl'' as a group identifier—a term they themselves had repudiated only two decades earlier—a term often associated in English with things negative and undesirable, proclaiming, "Black is beautiful." By the 1990s, the terms ''Afro-American'' and ''African American'' began to reemerge, this time for many as self-referential terms of choice.
Just as other ethnic groups in American society historically had adopted names descriptive of their families' geographical points of origin (such as ''Italian American'', ''Irish American'', ''Polish American''), many fls in America expressed a preference for a similar term.

IRVINE, Calif., April 17 (UPI) -- U.S. and Australian scientists have dispelled a 40-year-old "thrifty genotype theory" that certain minority groups are genetically prone to diabetes.
