Unlike others who study child soldiers, Abby Hardgrove's ethnography looks at both former combatants and also the youth who were not recruited to fight. She focuses on the structural constraints and household and family organizations that either helped or limited opportunities as these young men grew into adulthood. Whether young men fought or not, and whether they had cultural capital before the war or not, family relations mattered a great deal in how they fared after the war. 410 0$aRutgers series in childhood studies. 606 $aVeteran reintegration$zLiberia 606 $aChild soldiers$zLiberia 606 $aYoung men$zLiberia$xSocial conditions$y21st century 607 $aLiberia$xPolitics and government$y1980- 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $achild, children, childhood, childhood studies, Liberia, child soldiers, civil war, war, violence, war culture, gun, guns, bullets, fighting, armed conflict, missile, combat, ground troops, troops, military. 615 0$aVeteran reintegration 615 0$aChild soldiers 615 0$aYoung men$xSocial conditions 676 $a305.2421096662 700 $aHardgrove$b Abby V$g(Abby Virginia),$f1983-$01022800 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996449441003316 996 $aLife after Guns$92429680 997 $aUNISA
