Abstract:The child as a political actor and conflict stakeholder (but not as a victim) and the political significance of children are usually ignored. This collective volume uses case studies from Angola, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Mozambique and Uganda to illustrate the roles of children and youth in war and change in Africa, from the child soldier to the youth activist, and suggests that the 'youth factor' is an important dimension of security analysis. Contents: Introduction, by Angela McIntyre; The political child, by Afua Twum-Danso; A luta continua: children and youth in Mozambique's struggles, by Ana Lećo; Youth, conflict and identity: political mobilisation and subjection in Angola, by Imogen Parsons; From youth to rebellion to abduction: the anatomy of recruitment in Sierra Leone, by Kwesi Aning and Angela McIntyre; Youth mobilisation in Uganda, by Aki Stavrou; Collective and individual identities: experiences of recruitment and reintegration of female ex-combatants of the Tigrean People's Liberation Army, Ethiopia, by Angela Veale; Conclusion, by Adedeji Ebo.
