This title is the first serious study to engage with the Sierra
Leone civil war. It explores the genesis of the crisis; the
contradictory roles of different internal actors; civil society and
the fourth estate; the regional intervention force; the demise of
the second republic; and the numerous peace initiatives to end the
war. It articulates how internal actors tread the multiple but
conflicting pathways to power, why the war lasted for as long as it
did, and how non-conventional actors were able to inaugurate and
sustain an insurgency that called forth the largest concentration
of United Nations peacekeepers the world has ever seen. The
contributors challenge tendencies to reduce all these happenings,
these 'thick descriptions'/histories, to a footnote in a narrative
that privileges the economic factor, thereby devalourising research
and scholarship in understanding and changing the reality in Sierra
Leone.
