This book presents African scholars' views of why conflicts start in their continent.

This volume offers theoretically sophisticated, empirically grounded, and compelling analyses of the roots of African conflicts.Political violenceAfricaLow-intensity conflicts (Military science)AfricaAfricaPolitics and government1960-Political violenceLow-intensity conflicts (Military science)303.6/40967Nhema Alfred G1863631Zeleza Tiyambe1955-1798203MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957074603321The roots of African conflicts4470274UNINA
