Analyses African insurgencies and their relationship to the
societies in which they are set and to the outside world.
Insurgencies or guerrilla movements have come to occupy a prominent
place in the politics of modern Africa. At one time they could be
regarded as the means by which Africans fought for independence
against colonial or white minority regimes which refused to concede
it peacefully, but in the late-20th century they have become an
important source of organized opposition to incumbent African
governments. In some cases they have ousted those governments and
established new regimes in their place; in other cases they have
prompted state collapse. This collection of articles and case
studies is written by contributors with a long-term direct contact
with the insurgencies they describe. They analyze the relationship
between insurgencies and the local societies in which they are set,
the organizational principles upon which the insurgencies are
based, and the relationship between the insurgencies and the
widerworld. North America: Indiana U Press; Uganda: Fountain
