However, when speaking of “children” commentators have often taken the situation of those in early and middle childhood as representative of all young people under eighteen years of age. As a consequence, the specific situation of adolescents negotiating the processes of transition towards social adulthood amidst conditions of violence and displacement is commonly overlooked. Years of Conflict provides a much-needed corrective. Drawing upon perspectives from anthropology, psychology, and media studies as well as the insights of those involved in programmatic interventions, it describes and analyses the experiences of older children facing the challenges of daily life in settings of conflict, post-conflict and refuge. Several authors also reflect upon methodological issues in pursuing research with young people in such settings. The accounts span the globe, taking in Liberia, Afghanistan, South Africa, Peru, Jordan, UK\/Western Europe, Eastern Africa, Iran, USA, and Colombia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tThis book will be invaluable to those seeking a fuller understanding of conflict and displacement and its effects upon adolescents. It will also be welcomed by practitioners concerned to develop more effective ways of providing support to this group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t“\u003cem\u003e[This book] is a very ambitious project seeking to furnish the reader with a more holistic and yet culturally sensitive understanding of the problem…The authors’ passionate engagement with the issues of children affected by war makes the book an interesting read and a significant contribution into the lives of the young in conflict and displacement settings.\u003c\/em\u003e”\u003cb\u003e  ·  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJournal of International Migration and Integration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePreface\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eJo Boyden\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eJason Hart\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART I: ADOLESCENCE IN CONTEXT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e Reconstructing Adolescence after Displacement: Experience from Eastern Africa\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eHirut Tefferi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e Doing Nothing and Being Good: Social Relationships and Networks of Support among Adolescent Congolese Refugees in Dar es Salaam\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eGillian Mann\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e Growing Up in Exile: Psychosocial Challenges Facing Refugee Youth in the United States\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eKenneth E.
