Reviews

Hardgrove's careful ethnography of post-war Liberia succeeds at one of anthropology's core missions: she undermines the stereotypes and easy answers standing in the way of true understanding and meaningful engagement. --Danny Hoffman author of The War Machines: Young Men and Violence in Sierra Leone and Liberia -Life after Guns is a much needed study about excombatant and other youth in the Liberian post-war reality. Hardgrove takes us beyond previous studies of excombatant youth only, showing the importance of a broader generational and relational perspective on both conflict and post-conflicts.---Mats Utas -editor of African Conflicts and Informal Power: Big Men and Networks - -Hardgrove's careful ethnography of post-war Liberia succeeds at one of anthropology's core missions: she undermines the stereotypes and easy answers standing in the way of true understanding and meaningful engagement.- --Danny Hoffman -author of The War Machines: Young Men and Violence in Sierra Leone and Liberia - Life after Guns is a much needed study about excombatant and other youth in the Liberian post-war reality.
