Going beyond the predominant humanitarian perspectives on child soldiers, Johanna Higgs delves into the specific social and cultural aspects of the Colombian conflict to give a contextualized, culturally relevant understanding of the processes of both militarization and demobilization of children, deploying the theoretical lens of ?lifeworlds.? In so doing, Higgs not only provides insight into children?s involvement in conflict in Colombia, but presents a clear case for a move away from homogenized understandings of ?child soldiers,? thus far dominated by viewpoints from industrialized Western nations. Tying together perspectives from anthropology, sociology, psychology, politics, and international development, Higgs provides a much-needed examination of how children are militarized, soldiering in the Farc context, and demilitarization, but also a blueprint for how research can be tied to specific cultural contexts. . 606 $aSociology 606 $aEthnology 606 $aAmerica?Politics and government 606 $aFamily policy 606 $aPeace 606 $aSocial groups 606 $aSociology 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 606 $aAmerican Politics 606 $aChildren, Youth and Family Policy 606 $aPeace and Conflict Studies 606 $aSociology of Family, Youth and Aging 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aAmerica?Politics and government. 615 0$aFamily policy. 615 0$aPeace. 615 0$aSocial groups. 615 14$aSociology. 615 24$aSociocultural Anthropology. 615 24$aAmerican Politics. 615 24$aChildren, Youth and Family Policy. 615 24$aPeace and Conflict Studies. 615 24$aSociology of Family, Youth and Aging. 676 $a300 676 $a355.008309861 700 $aHiggs$b Johanna$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0860971 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910370039403321 996 $aMilitarized Youth$91921357 997 $aUNINA
