Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Much of the literature dealing with inter-ethnic conflict has treated notions of identity and interest as static. This paper interrogates the means by which shifts in identity and interest--which often precede conflict--occur. Both structural and discursive data will be examined in order to better understand the environment in which identity and interest become aligned toward violent action. It is expected that structural conditions play a necessary but not sufficient role in activating these shifts, while frames and narratives cultivated by elite actors are often the catalytic force in the eruption of violence of this kind. The role of elites --those who stand to gain the most from a hostile and divided working class-- in the period before the outbreak of inter-ethnic violence is under-examined, and this piece seeks to expand this area. Cases examined will include Rock Creek, WY (1885); Wilmington, NC (1898); Atlanta (1906); and Tulsa (1921).
