W. Pullan & B. Baillie 
Locating Urban Conflicts 
Ethnicity, Nationalism and the Everyday

Cities have emerged as the epicentres for many of today’s ethno-national and religious conflicts. This book brings together key themes that dominate our current attention including emerging areas of contestation in rapidly changing and modernising cities and the effects of extreme and/or enduring conflicts upon ordinary civilian life.
