Marc Sommers has written one of the only books on youth in post-genocide Rwanda. Sommers is a leading specialist in the field on youth and peace building, with a particular focus on the role of young men in conflict.
Peace and Conflict Studies Assistant Professor Susan Thomson, also a leading specialist in Rwandan studies, was pleased to be able to review this important book. Sommers research will appeal to students working on youth in conflict, post-conflict state building, and forms of structural violence as peace.
Prof. Thomson’s review appeared in the April 2013 issue of the African Studies Review.
