C.: Past and Present","description":"The 1991-2002 war in Sierra Leone was infamous for mass amputations, widespread sexual violence, and forced recruitment of children into rebel forces. It was not an ethnic war, but one that tore families and communities apart in ways that could not be sustained in peacetime. After the war, the Sierra Leone government and civil society organizations encouraged the combatants to return home and encouraged the communities to accept them, even though the combatants, or the forces they were associated with, had committed horrendous crimes in those very same villages. Long Road Home describes how the ex-combatants and the civilian survivors in Sierra Leone struggled to reconcile and build trust in their communities a year after the war ended. The book explores the contribution of the Sierra Leone Truth and Reconciliation Commission toward reconciliation and justice, and it questions whether reconciliation is always a good thing. It also examines how the seemingly nebulous concept of reconciliation can be understood so that the term is useful for peace building and is consistent with justice. Finally, the author argues that Sierra Leone has much to teach peace builders in societies emerging from intra-communal violence and much to contribute to comparative analyses of post-conflict transitions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49587861061905,"sku":"GOR005830597","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49949156114705,"sku":"CIN0962984116VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50374206685457,"sku":"CIN0962984116G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0962984116.jpg?v=1750916322"},{"product_id":"the-washington-national-mall-book-peter-r-penczer-9780962984129","title":"The Washington National Mall","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50469267996945,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50469270618385,"sku":"CIN0962984124G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52317606248721,"sku":"GOR005709221","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0962984124.jpg?v=1751331307"},{"product_id":"the-washington-national-mall-book-peter-r-penczer-9780962984136","title":"The Washington National Mall","description":"The recruitment and operations of child soldiers have been hitting the headlines in politics and the media for many years, however a much broader circle of children is affected by armed conflicts. The many challenges in dealing with youth affected by armed conflicts extend to questions about the rehabilitation, reintegration, and reconciliation processes of all children and youth. In stark contrast to the complex reality of armed conflicts and the involvement of children therein, academic research has thus far taken a rather narrow view on the matter. International children's rights law has mostly focused on age limits for the recruitment of children and international criminal law has dealt with the prosecution and punishment of child recruiters. The disciplines of psychology and pedagogical sciences have merely emphasized the effects of and recovery from traumatic exposure by individuals, with some attempts for a more psycho-social perspective. Finally, studies in the field of transitional justice have paid remarkably little attention, until very recently, to the role of children in transitional justice mechanisms, both as victims and offenders. This book brings together, for the first time, a wide range of leading scholars from three disciplinary perspectives: children's rights, psycho-social studies, and transitional justice. The book enhances a multi-disciplinary and comprehensive approach to the rehabilitation, reintegration, and reconciliation processes of children and adolescents affected by armed conflicts. The 22 chapters are specifically written to deal with theoretical perspectives, empirical findings, and country reports. It will be of interest to academics, policy makers, practitioners, non-governmental organizations, the media, and others.
