Reviews
‘I highly recommend this important volume, which examines how children are actors in different kinds of fights and struggles. Interconnecting areas of violence that are often fragmented and bringing forward voices from diverse countries, it sheds new light on children’s agency and ability to navigate and shape complex environments.’ Michael Wessells, Professor Emeritus, Program on Forced Migration and Health, Columbia University, USA ‘How do children fight? That is, how do young people experience concerted violence, whether it is called armed conflict, cartel criminality, cyberwar, or something else? Seeking answers through multidisciplinary research by authors from around the globe, this rich collection opens paths for an empirically grounded, fully inclusive child rights practice.’ Diane Marie Amann, Regents’ Professor of International Law, Emily & Ernest Woodruff Chair in International Law, and Faculty Co-Director of the Dean Rusk International Law Center, University of Georgia School of Law, USA ‘This multi-disciplinary, multi-faceted, and multi-regional volume is a welcome contribution to scholarship on child-related violence. It offers important insights on violence in various forms and contexts, ranging from armed conflict, cyber warfare, and trafficking to economic, gendered, and racialized violence, among others. Taken as a whole, the chapters in this edited collection enrich, reframe, and expand debates on the relationship between childhood and violence.’ Hedi Viterbo, Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Law Founding Director of the Childhood, Law & Policy Network (CLPN), Queen Mary University of London, UK
