Description

Life After Guns explores how ex-combatants and other post-war youth negotiated a depleted and difficult social and cultural landscape within the years following Liberia’s fourteen-year bloody civil war. Unlike others who look at child soldiers, Abby Hardgrove’s ethnography looks at both former combatants and in addition the youth who weren’t recruited to fight. She makes a speciality of the structural constraints and household and circle of relatives organizations that either helped or limited opportunities as these young men grew into adulthood. Whether young men fought or now not, and whether or not they had cultural capital before the war or now not, circle of relatives family members mattered an excellent deal in how they fared after the war.
