This book examines the reasons for which children join terrorist
movements and how they eventually become peace activists fighting
the very crimes that they once committed. The transformation of
child terrorists into peace activists has received scant attention
from academics and practitioners alike. Particular focus is placed
on child jihadism, child terrorism in Africa and Latin America,
child separatist terrorism, and White child supremacism. These five
groups of child terrorists represent about 80% of the problem
across the world. The text serves as a primer for anti-terrorism
and peace activism for global social change. It includes original,
applied research and features personal accounts from former child
terrorists who became peace activists themselves. One of the nine
chapters provides an in-depth thematic analysis of the lives of 24
subjects (from all five aforementioned groups). The analysis
produced four main themes that encapsulate the time and effort that
it takes to become a peace activist today: metamorphosis, terrorist
behavior, disillusionment, and anti-terrorist behavior. The book
ends with multiple solutions from the perspective of social work,
including the reintegration of former child terrorists into
society. From Child Terrorism to Peace Activism is a resource of
deep and broad appeal. The text is essential reading for
upper-level undergraduate and Master's students in political
science, military studies, international relations, international
law, and peace and conflict studies. It can be pertinent reading
for students and instructors in international social work
contemplating social work-related solutions to rehabilitate former
child terrorists and child soldiers into society through peace
activism, anti-terrorist endeavors, and other socio-psychological
methods that will produce social change. The text also would appeal
to faculty and students in childhood studies with an interest in
child terrorism, child development, and child trauma and
resilience. Given the essentials, depth, and possibilities that the
book offers, it is a useful resource for audiences within
counterterrorism institutes, national security agencies, and
academic think-tanks. Information on motives, strategies,
radicalization processes, and recruitment methods used by terrorist
organizations as well as their effects on various audiences will
draw readers from law enforcement agencies and institutions.
