Chapter 7 examines why contentious land narratives are not sufficient predictors of electoral violence. In contrast to the previous chapter, which demonstrates how elites use narratives to organize violence, this chapter draws on evidence from counties in the Coast region where there are salient contentious land narratives yet electoral violence is rare. The chapter argues that land narratives work differently along the Coast because residents do not link their land rights with electoral outcomes. Hence, residents have few motives to participate in electoral violence and politicians have far less power to use land narratives to organize violence. To account for this regional difference, the chapter brings the reader back to the theory of “landlord” and “land patron,” which it discusses in terms of patronage strength. It also explains the importance of group size: the proportion of ethnic insiders relative to outsiders at the local level.
