Life after Guns: Reciprocity and Respect among Young Men in Liberia de Abby Hardgrove

Life after Guns: Reciprocity and Respect among Young Men in Liberia: Rutgers Series in Childhood Studies

Autor Abby Hardgrove
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 mai 2017 – vârsta ani
Life After Guns explores how ex-combatants and other post-war youth negotiated a depleted and difficult social and cultural landscape in the years following Liberia’s fourteen-year bloody civil war. Unlike others who study child soldiers, Abby Hardgrove’s ethnography looks at both former combatants and also the youth who were not recruited to fight. She focuses on the structural constraints and household and family organizations that either helped or limited opportunities as these young men grew into adulthood. Whether young men fought or not, and whether they had cultural capital before the war or not, family relations mattered a great deal in how they fared after the war.

Recenzii

"Hardgrove's careful ethnography of post-war Liberia succeeds at one of anthropology's core missions: she undermines the stereotypes and easy answers standing in the way of true understanding and meaningful engagement."
 

"Life after Guns is a much needed study about excombatant and other youth in the Liberian post-war reality. Hardgrove takes us beyond previous studies of excombatant youth only, showing the importance of a broader generational and relational perspective on both conflict and post-conflicts."
