Abstract:The nine case studies in this collective volume examine reconstruction and peacemaking efforts in as many African countries. Four broad focuses - the ethnocultural dimensions of reconstruction, gender and generation, demobilization and reintegration programmes, and the political and economic basis of reconstruction - provide the organizational framework. Contents: Introduction (Ahmad Sikainga and Oussein Alidou) - Ethnic autonomy and Ethiopian federalism: what autonomy? (Abdi Ismail Samatar) - Rethinking the nation in postwar reconstruction in Niger Republic (Ousseina Alidou) - Ethnic cleansing and civil society in Kenya, 1969-1992 (E.S. Atieno Odhiambo) - 'Failure is an orphan': postconflict peace education and war-affected children in Mozambique (Antoinette Errante and Boia Efraime Junior) - Silent guns and talking drums: war, radio, and youth social healing in Sierra Leone (Ismail Rashid) - Reconstructing fragile lives: girls' social reintegration in Northern Uganda and Sierra Leone (Susan McKay) - Postwar reconstruction and the security dilemma: the challenge of disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration in the Democratic Republic of Congo (Tatiana Carayannis) - The role of law in Zimbabwe's political transition (Norma Kriger) - The voice of civil society in the rebuilding of Burundi (Anthony Ngosi). The book grew out of a conference organized by the Center for African Studies at the Ohio State University on 16-17 April 2004. [ASC Leiden abstract]
