Ethnicity Kills?: The Politics of War, Peace and Ethnicity in Sub-Saharan Africa

by Morten Bøås, Einar Braathen, Gjermund Sæther

Book Overview

The book examines, among other issues, the emergence of civil war as a result of political struggles. The construction of Africa as the 'other' has meant that factors commonly used to explain war elsewhere have been neglected in SubSaharan Africa. The political power struggle which evolved around the state is at the forefront of the analysis of civil war and societal conflict.
