This series is aimed at understanding the dynamics in the relationship between enduring conflict, hardship, governance regimes, connectivity in Africa. The first books of the series concentrate on Middle and West Africa, in particular in Cameroon, Chad, CAR, Nigeria, Congo-Brazzaville, DRC, Uganda and Mali; a region with a shared history of connectivity, of oppression and conflict (duress). Within the region the variation in these two variables and its comparisons highlight processes and dynamics of socio-political change, and of agency (the ways of people to act, react, experience). The series uses an interdisciplinary methodology, combining anthropology, history, communication studies, conflict studies, and social geography. Publications are comparative and complementary, among diverse mobile populations in urban centers, refugee camps, and remote rural areas and of different types of relations between duress and changing communication technologies. The main concepts Duress and Connectivity need explanation. Duress is the internalization of conflict/oppression, and combines the long history of such circumstances, their recurrence, with a perspective on (constrained) agency, emotions, and socio-political change. Connectivity encompasses all forms of connectivity, from geographical mobility to communication, in which the role of technologies of communication (from roads to mobile phones) are present. In this series we focus on the interplay between the changes and continuities in connectivity and the way it (re/trans)forms duress.
More specifically, the publications in this series concentrate on (a) how, through new communication and information flows people’s experience of duress changes; (b) how new opportunities to be informed, to communicate, and connect, influence individual decision making and the (re)forming of communities; and (c) how these changes influence power relations and existing hierarchies. An important goal is to contextualize these seemingly ‘revolutionary’ and ‘new’ changes related to the introduction of new technologies in a historical longue duree_perspective, relating developments in connectivity to older connectivity processes in the history of African regions.
The series will be in conversation with various fields in the social sciences and humanities: Studies of migration, displacement, refugees; Studies of the history of conflict; Conflict studies; Ethnography of mobility, Mobility turn in Geography (Urry et al.), and in the methodological field with Digital Ethnography and Digital Humanities.

Peace-building in Post-Conflict Societies examines the child-soldier phenomenon in Northern Uganda from African and global intellectual perspectives. It discusses strategies used in recruiting and using child-soldiers by armed groups and government forces and also interrogates the extant national, regional and international legal mechanisms for protecting them. The book also critically examines the strategies of disarmament, demobilization, re-integration and rehabilitation (DDRR) of child-soldiers as part of peace-building efforts in post-conflict Uganda. It compares the African traditional approaches with the Western model of re-integration and rehabilitation and recommends reliance on the traditional African systems -but without discarding the relevant aspects of the Western model.
