A critical review of social structural approaches to violent conflict reveals a composite theoretical model that contrasts peaceful conflicting loyalties type societies with violent fraternal interest group type societies. Ethnohistorical data on warfare and fighting from a precolonial African society are used to illuminate relationships between violence and social structure more complex than any envisioned by advocates of the social structural approach. The analysis also yields a number of specific questions to be tested in cross‐cultural research. [law, warfare, political organization, conflicting loyalties theory, Africa]
