Description: "The Nigerian city of Jos used to be seen as a peaceful place, but in 2001 it was struck by clashes that arose from what was largely understood as issues of ethnic and religious belonging. The event, which would become known as 'the crisis,' was experienced as a rupture and a loss of what the city had once been, and as the starting point of a spiral of violence that has continued up to today."--P. [4] of cover.
