| Abstract

"This volume explains the processes involved in young people's participation in civil conflict. It seeks to define the course of children's lives in war zones and highlights the connections and impacts of recruitment, socialization, training and indoctrination in rebel groups. The authors show how immersion into the fighter's world is a disjuncture in the 'normal' pre-war life of children and how this influences post conflict return and reintegration. One of the key lessons drawn is the need to undermine stereotypes and give young people a voice to articulate their compulsions, motivations and choices. Moreover, the contributors point out the importance of breaking the exclusive division between child/adult and combatant/civilian identities. While issues of recruitment have received considerable academic attention of late, this contribution is one of the first to take into account the processes and interconnections leading to a successful reintegration and transition to civilian identity"--
