ABSTRACT
Based on the findings presented in Chapters 5–7 related to socioeconomic, ethno-racial and political grievances, this chapter seeks to identify common themes and patterns that are characteristic of grievances. Grievances tend to be historic, relating to large-scale suffering of a collective, often including those perceived as weak and poor. They refer to an injustice that is flagrant and remains unpunished. The narrative establishment of temporal and spatial continuity, it is argued, serves the decomplexification of reality and, ultimately, mobilisation.
