Daily Lives of Civilians in Wartime Africa by John Paul Clow Laband
In most accounts of warfare, civilians suffer cruelties and make sacrifices silently and anonymously. This volume details the dismal impact war has had on the African people over the past several years, from slavery days, via the Zulu War, World War I and II, to the horrific civil wars following decolonisation and the genocide in Rwanda.
"Nine contributions from Laband and other scholars discuss the impact of war on the daily life of civilians in various regions of AfricaCoverage spans time periods ranging from the late 18th century to the present day. A sampling of topics includes civilian casualties in the trans-Atlantic slave trade, the impact of WWI on African people, and the consequences of Sudan's series of civil wars on the civilian population. Laband teaches history at Wilfrid Laurier U. in Canada." - Reference & Research Book News
