Abby Hardgrove

Life After Guns

Reciprocity and Respect Among Young Men in Liberia

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
