It weakens social ties, threatens household survival and undermines the family's capacity to care for its most vulnerable members. Every year it kills and maims countless numbers of young people, undermines thousands of others psychologically and deprives many of the economic, educational, health and social opportunities which most of us consider essential for children's effective growth and well being.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tBased on detailed ethnographic description and on young people's own accounts, this volume provides insights into children's experiences as both survivors and perpetrators of violence. It focuses on girls who have been exposed to sexual exploitation and abuse, children who head households or are separated from their families, displaced children and young former combatants who are attempting to adjust to their changed circumstances following the cessation of conflict. In this sense, the volume bears witness to the grim effects of warfare and displacement on the young.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tNevertheless, despite the abundant evidence of suffering, it maintains that children are not the passive victims of conflict but engage actively with the conditions of war, an outlook that challenges orthodox research perspectives that rely heavily on medicalized notions of 'victim' and 'trauma.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e“This deeply disturbing but brilliant collection will be a challenge to a burgeoning literature on children in war situations … [especially] to those who wish to make a black and white distinction between children and adults.”\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e• Children, Youth and Environments\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e \tList of Acronyms\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eJo Boyden\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eJoanna de Berry\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART I: THE CONTECTS OF WAR\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e Separated Children: Care and Support in Context\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eGillian Mann\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e Cultural Disruption and the Care of Infants in Post-war Mozambique\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eVictor Igreja\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART II: VULNERABILITY AND RESILIENCE AMONG ADOLESCENT GIRLS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e The Sexual Vulnerability of Adolescent Girls during Civil War in Teso, Uganda\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eJoanna de Berry\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e A Neglected Perspective: Adolescent Girls' Experiences of the Kosovo Conflict of 1999\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eAisling Swaine\u003c\/i\u003e with \u003ci\u003eThomas Feeny\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART III: WHAT IS A CHILD?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e The Use of Patriarchal Imagery in the Civil War in Mozambique and its Implications for the Reintegration of Child Soldiers\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eJessica Schafer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/b\u003e Girls with Guns: Narrating the Experience of War of FRELIMO's 'Female Detachment'\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eHarry G.
