Childhood Deployed:  Remaking Child Soldiers in Sierra Leone

[Profile]       [http://nyuconnexus.seisan.com/uploads/products/9780814770252/9780814770252_Full.jpg]
Dr. Susan Shepler, Associate Professor, School of International Service,
American University (Washington, DC)

Childhood Deployed examines the reintegration of former child soldiers in Sierra Leone.  Shepler argues that there is a fundamental disconnect between the Western idea of the child soldier and the individual lived experiences of the child soldiers of Sierra Leone. She contends that the reintegration of former child soldiers is a political process having to do with changing notions of childhood as one of the central structures of society.
