===Narrative and Rupture=== As mentioned before, the narrative that surrounds ethnicity can change as time progresses, this is more bound to happen if there's a big conflict or threat to the group. These threats and ruptures can come from various things such as migration and politics within the group (or surrounding it). Eventually, these ruptures become added to their history and identity and thus creates another shift in the narrative -An example of this took place in Tanzania when Hutu refugees fortified the unity of the group by repeating their history as a way to understand the situation they were stuck in *Narratives create a sense of order out of the "unexpected or disturbing" **Ethnically based collective identities arise out of a search for this order after a period of crisis *Events like migration and changes in economic or political situation might call for a renarration *Narratives are used not just for sensemaking, but also to create common bonds against threats or oppressors *Once the crisis period comes to an end, the process of creating a new narrative usually dies down and the new narrative either becomes the established story or narrative itself takes a backseat to group label
