Epistemologies of African Conflicts

Violence, Evolutionism, and the War in Sierra Leone

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a bold, ground-breaking epistemological critique of the dominant discourses on African conflicts. Based on a painstaking study of the ways in which the Sierra Leone civil war has been interpreted, it considers how Africa is constructed as a site of knowledge and the implications that this has for the continent and its people.
