"""A thoroughly researched and well-written book by Carlson Anyangwe, an expert on African and international law and a renowned scholar, this book examines case studies on salient aspects of recurrent African conflicts and approaches to conflict resolutions since independence. It provides analytical insights on the more recent yet neglected conflict in Cameroon--a decolonization struggle by Ambazonians (former British Southern Cameroons) from French La Republique du Cameroun. The roles of France, Western powers, and African governments in these conflicts are clarified. A must-read for students and scholars of African law, politics, conflict resolution, and history as well as non-academics."" ""In this most relevant and significant volume, Carlson Anyangwe provides one of the most comprehensive and insightful analyses of the array of conflicts in postcolonial Africa. Going beyond history and law, Anyangwe's book advances, broadens, and deepens the reader's knowledge as it instigates serious conversations on Africa's numerous conflicts, from territorial to maritime boundary issues, armed conflicts within and between states, domestic and transborder terrorism as a new dimension of conflicts, and African approaches to resolving the complex conflicts. The extensive coverage of the different conflicts makes this book essential reading for all scholars on modern Africa."" Few African issues are as consequential as strife over land and water. Anyangwe's valuable overview examines boundary and territorial conflicts, sources and features of civil wars, domestic and transborder terrorism, and African approaches to conflict resolution.... This book's 12 chapters provide comprehensive, convincing, yet succinct summaries of numerous conflicts. Although Anyangwe does not offer new solutions, he does offer well-documented, wide-ranging analyses of practically every outbreak of violence.... Highly recommended. Advanced undergraduates and graduate students."
