This book explores the complex issues surrounding child soldiers, particularly in the African Great Lakes region. It challenges Western perceptions of childhood and examines the stigmatization of former child soldiers as 'child sorcerers.' The author, Geneviève N’Koussou, draws on her extensive experience and research to provide insights into the cultural and historical contexts that contribute to these challenges. She advocates for understanding and supporting these children through culturally sensitive approaches. N’Koussou's work is aimed at academics, humanitarian workers, and policymakers interested in African studies, child welfare, and cultural anthropology. |
