With the eye of a skilled anthropologist, Susan Shepler illuminates the enormity of the gap between Western understandings of childhood, recruitment, and reintegration and the lived experiences, beliefs, and values of young people as they navigate the complexities of post-conflict Sierra Leone." -- Mike Wessells,Columbia University "Drawing on detailed ethnographic research, this compelling account of the complex forces shaping young peoples reintegration following the war in Sierra Leone is an essential read for anyone interested in the social impacts of globalization, the changing nature of childhood or the challenges of intervening in societies after conflict." -- Jo Boyden,University of Oxford "The book is a wonderful, practical, policy oriented introduction to just how problematic it is to make childhood a universal, even during war and aftermath." * Journal for Peace and Justice Studies *
Susan Shepler is Associate Professor of International Peace and Conflict Resolution in the School of International Service at American University in Washington D.C.
