'The book's rich and nuanced theoretical insights and the empirical ground that it covers makes it an invaluable reference for conflict studies and peace building in Africa and elsewhere. Its methodology and its close observation of processes and participants results in a uniquely appealing and elegant narrative.' Moses Khisa, Journal of Interdisciplinary History
