"This is a timely, empirically solid, and theoretically
sophisticated contribution to our understanding of one of Africa's
recent 'small wars' . . . that] throws new light on the 'crisis of
youth' in post-colonial Africa, provides a fascinating critique of
the notion of 'child' soldiers, explores the ways in which youth
internalise the external world in negative self-images, and]
deepens our understanding of 'civil war' in Africa." . Michael
Jackson, Harvard Divinity School Through the concept of "social
navigation," this book sheds light on the mobilization of urban
youth in West Africa. Social navigation offers a perspective on
praxis in situations of conflict and turmoil. It provides insights
into the interplay between objective structures and subjective
agency, thus enabling us to make sense of the opportunistic,
sometimes fatalistic and tactical ways in which young people
struggle to expand the horizons of possibility in a world of
conflict, turmoil and diminishing resources. Henrik E. Vigh is a
researcher at the Rehabilitation and Research Centre for Torture
Victims in Copenhagen. He holds a Ph.D. from the Department of
Anthropology, University of Copenhagen and has worked on issues of
youth and conflict in both Europe and West Africa. He is currently
researching undocumented West African migrants in Europe and the
networks that they depend on, develop and are caught up in.
