What can reunite populations divided by war and violence whilst attempting to build a peaceful civil society? This book considers the impact and value of sport, notably football, towards achieving this goal. Using extensive fieldwork from Liberia, Collison highlights the multiple and diverse stakeholders and actors aligning themselves with ?Sport for Development and Peace? interventions. By unpacking and conceptualising the ambiguous terminology, complex social effects and the lived experience of SDP, this book draw upon participant voices and the author?s own lived experience within SDP to gain symbolic understandings of culture, identity and the formal and informal social structures in which participants and interventions operate. Collison identifies that SDP has become fashionable within development agendas but it remains an aspirational image, a notion of seduction, rather than a tested method of reintegration and youth development in post-conflict environments. Youth and Sport for Development questions the assumptions of SDP rhetoric and programs, and traces the effects of football - the favoured vehicle of SDP- on youth in post-conflict Liberia. Examining three core themes: post-conflict development, youth and community, this book centralises the narratives of young football players in Liberia and will appeal to scholars across Anthropology, Sociology, Sports Studies, Politics and Development. . 606 $aSports?Sociological aspects 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aAfrica?Politics and government 606 $aChildhood 606 $aAdolescence 606 $aEthnology 606 $aSociology of Sport and Leisure$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22220 606 $aDevelopment Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913000 606 $aAfrican Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911090 606 $aChildhood, Adolescence and Society$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22090 606 $aSocial Anthropology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12030 607 $aLiberia$2fast 615 0$aSports?Sociological aspects. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aAfrica?Politics and government. 615 0$aChildhood. 615 0$aAdolescence. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 14$aSociology of Sport and Leisure. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 615 24$aAfrican Politics. 615 24$aChildhood, Adolescence and Society. 615 24$aSocial Anthropology. 676 $a306.48 700 $aCollison$b Holly$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058485 702 $aCollison$b Holly$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253343703321 996 $aYouth and Sport for Development$92500245 997 $aUNINA
