Horizontal inequalities and sons of the soil conflict in China / Côté, Isabelle

Summary/Abstract

Why are large population movements conflict-prone in some regions while they remain peacefully integrated elsewhere? I argue that clashes between ethnically distinct indigenous populations and migrants – i.e. ‘Sons of the Soil (SoS) conflict’ – erupt when there are large socio-economic and political horizontal inequalities between ‘dominant migrants’ and locals. A comparative case study of two Chinese minority regions based on ethnographic fieldwork and population data provides a vivid illustration of the mechanisms linking migration to SoS conflict. With fewer HIs between migrants and locals, Inner Mongolia avoided many of the violent clashes that were commonplace in Qinghai, a province fraught with disparities.

Summary/Abstract

Why are female migrants rarely attacked in “Sons of the Soil” (SoS) violence? Based on interviews with key stakeholders in Indonesia and China, we argue that women are shielded from the brunt of migration-related violence due to gendered patterns of migration and economic integration that highlights the positive contributions of female migration to the host region while drawing attention to the threat posed by male migration. By bringing together the literature on migration, gender, inequalities, and conflict, this article makes a foray into the previously unexamined dynamics affecting victimization patterns in armed conflict in general and SoS conflict in particular.
