This book presents the results of a research project on former child soldiers and rebels in northern Uganda and their "reintegration" into society after their return to civilian life. The authors investigate their biographies and the social figurations or relationships between them and members of the civilian population that emerged following their return, not least in their families of origin, and show which conditions facilitate or hinder their "(re)integration" into civilian life. The discussion also shows what distinguishes them from former members of rebel groups in the neighboring region of West Nile, in respect of their history and how they were recruited, as well as in their present situation and social position.Göttingen Series in Sociological Biographical Research ;Volume 2.War and civilizationWar and civilization.303.6Bogner Artur482025Rosenthal GabrieleSchubert RuthNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910724391703321Child Soldiers in Context2884127UNINA
