The Roots of African Conflicts: The Causes and Costs
- Used Book in Good Condition
Â“Africa is no more prone to violent conflicts than other regions. Indeed, Africaâ€™s share of the more than 180 million people who died from conflicts and atrocities in the twentieth century is relatively modest.Â… This is not to underestimate the immense impact of violent conflicts on Africa; it is merely to emphasize the need for more balanced debate and commentary.â€
Â— From the introduction by Paul Tiyambe Zeleza

Violent conflicts have exacted a heavy toll on Africaâ€™s societies, polities, and economies. This book presents African scholarsâ€™ views of why conflicts start in their continent. The causes of conflict are too often examined by scholars from the countries that run the proxy wars and sell the arms to fuel them. This volume offers theoretically sophisticated, empirically grounded, and compelling analyses of the roots of African conflicts.
