Through a multidisciplinary approach, African Frontiers counters
the superficial, Eurocentric and gender insensitive dominant
discursive representation of Africa within the discourse of war and
conflict management, and security and peace/nation-building. The
chapters historicize and theorize the realities in postcolonial
African states, and the ramifications on the continents future.
Situating the study within the context of the prevailing cultural
and geo-political realities in the postcolonial African states, the
chapters illustrate the complex ways in which events and processes
are experienced at the local level, and how these local realities
in turn impact and shape the patterns of political and military
engagement in Africa and beyond. Organized along three major
themes: Insurgency, governance and peacebuilding, expert
researchers from around the world contribute chapters on: Rebel and
insurgent formations such as the RUF, the LRA, and Boko Haram;
state governance and corruption; terrorism and counter terrorism;
security and peacebuilding; focussing on the tensions and
challenges facing post-conflict societies such as Sierra Leone,
Rwanda, and the newest nation-state on the continent, South Sudan.
This highly significant and topical study problematizes the impact
of wars on African nations, as well as the epistemological framing
of the local realities and fallouts of armed conflict on
post-colonial states.
