Sierra Leone

Most popular at the top

  • Historical Dictionary of Sierra Leoneby Magbaily C. Fyle

    Scarecrow Press 2006; US$ 84.99

    This new edition is based primarily on recent research on the country, but covers the earliest known inhabitants, the colonial era, and the period of independence including the very confusing turmoil of the recent past. The chronology briefly traces its history and the introduction provides an essential overview of all the recent developments in the... more...

  • How de Body?by Teun Voeten

    St. Martin's Press 2011; US$ 7.99

    In 1998, acclaimed photojournalist Teun Voeten headed to Sierra Leone for what he thought would be a standard assignment on the child soldiers there. But the cease-fire ended just as he arrived, and the clash between the military junta and the West African peace-keeping troops forced him to hide in the bush from rebels who were intent on killing... more...

  • Chasing the Devilby Tim Butcher

    Random House 2010; US$ 12.00

    For many years Sierra Leone and Liberia have been too dangerous to travel through, bedevilled by a uniquely brutal form of violence from which sprang many of Africa's cruellest contemporary icons - child soldiers, prisoner mutilation, blood diamonds. With their wars officially over, Tim Butcher sets out on a journey across both countries, trekking... more...

  • Civil War and Democracy in West Africaby David Harris

    I.B.Tauris 2011; US$ 79.17

    In the aftermath of explosive civil wars in Africa during the 1990s and 2000s, the establishment of multi-party elections has often been heralded by the West as signaling the culmination of the conflict and the beginning of a period of democratic rule. However, the outcomes of these elections are very rarely uniform, with just as many countries returning... more...

  • The Freetown Bondby Eldred Durosimi Jones; Marjorie Jones

    Boydell & Brewer 2012; US$ 50.00

    Eldred Durosimi Jones is known internationally as central to the establishment of the study of African writing in the new universities of Africa, Britain and North America. The annual 'African Literature Today' which he set up in 1968, is a key marker of this growth. In addition, his book 'Othello's Countrymen' introduced Africa... more...

  • From the Pit to the Marketby Diane Frost

    Boydell & Brewer 2012; US$ 34.95

    Diamonds have played an important role in the political economy of Sierra Leone, as was highlighted by the use of 'conflict' or 'blood' diamonds in the decade-long civil war. Yet their role is larger than this. Exploited by global business interests, whose corporate neo-colonialist predation has led to continued deprivation and reliance... more...

  • Epistemologies of African Conflictsby Zubairu Wai

    Palgrave Macmillan 2012; US$ 90.00

    This book offers a bold, ground-breaking epistemological critique of the dominant discourses on African conflicts. Based on a painstaking study of the ways in which the Sierra Leone civil war has been interpreted, it considers how Africa is constructed as a site of knowledge and the implications that this has for the continent and its people. more...

  • Magic and Warfareby Nathalie Wlodarczyk

    Palgrave Macmillan Ltd. 2009; US$ 85.00

    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. more...

  • War and the Crisis of Youth in Sierra Leoneby Krijn Peters

    Cambridge University Press 2011; US$ 72.00

    Addresses the incomplete understanding of the conflict in Sierra Leone by focusing on the direct experiences and interpretations of protagonists. more...

  • Sierra Leone beyond the Lome Peace Accordby Marda Mustapha; Joseph J. Bangura

    Palgrave Macmillan 2010; US$ 90.00

    The Lomé Peace Accord, signed in 1999, presented significant implications, challenges, and possibilities for post-conflict Sierra Leone, but the literature on post-conflict Sierra Leone only scantily addresses these issues. This project seeks to address the void in the literature on post-Lomé Sierra Leone. more...
