Drawing on the experiences of children from rural Burkina Faso and Ghana, the book provides rich material on the circumstances of children's voluntary migration and their experiences of it.

    DDC: 355.37
    Keywords: Electronic books. -- local ; Militia ; Peace-building ; Militia ; Peace-building ; Electronic books
    Abstract: Bringing together four intensively researched case studies - the Democratic Republic of Congo, Timor-Leste, Afghanistan and Sudan - Militias and the Challenges of Post-Conflict Peace argues that the international community's 'cookie-cutter' approach to demilitarization is ineffective at meeting the myriad of challenges involving militias. In doing so, the authors propose a radical new framework for demilitarization that questions conventional models and takes into account the reality on the ground

    DDC: 305
    Keywords: Electronic books. -- local ; Equality ; Social groups ; Social status
    Abstract: For every group that is oppressed, one or more other groups are privileged in relation to it. This book argues that privilege, as the other side of oppression, has been given insufficient attention in both critical theories and in the practices of social change and as a result, dominant groups have been allowed to reinforce their dominance

    Abstract: While there is a broad feminist literature on the lives and experiences of Third World women and their role in development, there has been a tendency either to ignore men as gendered subjects, or to consign them to stereotypical gender roles, often as exploiters of Third World women. This reader focuses on the lives and roles of Third World men
