Burundi has recently emerged from twelve years of devastating civil
war. Its economy has been destroyed and hundreds and thousands of
people have been killed. In this book, the voices of ordinary
Burundians are heard for the first time. Farmers, artisans,
traders, mothers, soldiers and students talk about the past and the
future, war and peace, their hopes for a better life and their
relationships with each other and the state. Young men, in
particular, often seen as the cause of violence and war, talk about
the difficulties of living up to standards of masculinity in an
impoverished and war-torn society. Weaving a rich tapestry, Peter
Uvin pitches the ideas and aspirations of people on the ground
against the theory and assumptions often made by the international
development and peace-building agencies and organisations. In doing
this, he illuminates both shared goals and misunderstandings. This
groundbreaking book on conflict and society in Africa will have
profound repercussions for development across the world.
