Authoritative, nuanced, and empirically rich, Lombard offers a new and compelling lens through which so-called state failure and post-conflict transitions can be understood.' Michael Watts, University of California, Berkeley (Emeritus) 'This valuable, indeed important, study helps us make sense of a little-known but strategically important African country. Those who wish to know Africa today need to know this book.' Paul Richards, author of No Peace, No War: An Anthropology of Contemporary Armed Conflicts 'If you want to understand why the CAR seems a perpetual work in regress, then Louisa Lombard's book is a must-read. Her new perspectives illuminate a neglected recess of globalization.' Stephen W. Smith, Duke University 'In this stimulating and provocative book, Louisa Lombard proposes a new approach to peace-keeping, peace enforcement and humanitarian action that rests upon a politics of redistribution and acknowledgement of the social dignity of fighters lacking a state.'
