Magic and Warfare: Appearance and Reality in Contemporary African Conflict and Beyond

By Nathalie Wlodarczyk

Book Overview

This study explores the roles played by magic in contemporary African warfare, specifically through the case of Sierra Leone, to assess its impact on behaviour in conflict. A conceptual framework is suggested for analysing culturally alien practices more broadly and to inform approaches to civilian and military intervention.
