The focus section, guest-edited by Laurent Fourchard (CERI, Sciences Po, France) and Aurelia Segatti (University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa), offers analyses on the understanding of xenophobic violence, based upon extensive empirical research undertaken over the past four years across three countries (Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa) and employing historical and ethnographic methods. The collection shifts our understanding of xenophobia, as the system- atic construction of strangers supposedly threatening a local or national community, by focusing on local and urban scales. The Journal’s open section again features articles dealing with aspects from the whole range of topics of conflict and violence. Starting with an analysis of in- trastate conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa, the section then turns to the discussion of the antecedents of group-based compunction and anger and how they connect to colonial-related collective experiences. The subsequent contribution illuminates the specific issue of extremely violent behaviour by re- constructing its social shaping. And last not least the final paper in this issue discusses the acceptance of modern myths about sexual aggression in Greece, testing and validating the standard social psychological instrument for this phenomenon. We hope you enjoy reading as much as we do! March 2016 Andreas Zick, Steven F.

If there is a large body of research on autochthony and xenophobic practices in a number of African countries, much less is known on the outcomes of xenophobic violence and how it reshapes the making of authority, the self-definition of groups making claims to ownership over re- sources and the boundaries of citizenship. Analyses of collective violence in Africa have devoted much attention to conflict over land ownership, civil wars or vigilantism while quantitative studies have placed much emphasis on putative difference between labelled groups in the production of “ethnic violence”.
