Reviews

'Scott Kirsch and Colin Flint, with their smart contributors, reveal the falseness of the all-too-easy dichotomies between war and peace. In doing so, they collectively help us all to be far more realistically nuanced in how we think about - and practice - the post-war rebuilding of trust and social fabric along with roads and bureaucracies. I learned a lot from reading Reconstructing Conflict.' Cynthia Enloe, Clark University, USA, author of Nimo's War, Emma's War: Making Feminist Sense of the Iraq War 'Reconstructing Conflict is a powerful examination of the violence that remains in place after the bombs have stopped falling or the guns have been silenced. What makes the book work so well is that the detailed empirical studies always have broader questions in mind while remaining faithful to the particularity of sites.' Stuart Elden, Durham University, UK
