Unlike others who study child soldiers, Abby Hardgrove’s ethnography looks at both former combatants and also the youth who were not recruited to fight. She focuses on the structural constraints and household and family organizations that either helped or limited opportunities as these young men grew into adulthood. Whether young men fought or not, and whether they had cultural capital before the war or not, family relations mattered a great deal in how they fared after the war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href='\"https:\/\/d3tto5i5w9ogdd.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/17194142\/9780813573502.pdf\"'\u003eDownload open access ebook here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eList of Acronyms\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1          Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2          A History of Violence\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3          Reciprocity, Respect, and Becoming “Established”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4          Street Youth: Life on the Periphery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5          Life in Armed Groups\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6          Life after Guns: Reintegration as Social Process\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7          Conclusion: On Dominance and Discourse\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003eIndex\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52559352955160,"sku":"9780813573472","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/life-after-guns-reciprocity-and-respect-among-young-men-in-liberia-paperback-softback-9780813573472","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
