Gangs and tribes

Posted by Georgia on January 9, 2008 at 12:15 pm.

From an allAfrica.com article challenging the “tribe-centric” analysis of the current situation in Kenya (link via Ethan):

". . . many analysts have long argued that "tribe" is particularly pernicious in diverting attention from the structural and immediate causes of violence by attributing it to supposedly immutable and irrational divisions."

Just as the term “gang-related” seems to be doing in discussions about crime in Trinidad?
