Description

Book Synopsis
As conflicts across the globe span decades and generations, this work suggests that we need a fresh perspective on war when it becomes the context for normal life. It calls for a fresh point of departure in the ethnography of war that investigates how the inhabitants of war zones live under trying new conditions.

Trade Review
"Stephen C. Lubkemann makes a compelling case for a new kind of anthropology of war. His book will be widely read, cited, and debated not only by regional scholars, but also among academics and policymakers - in Africa and beyond - seeking to better understand the complexities of war and human displacement." - Harry G. West, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London"
