Abstract
: 
"Violence connects people. Whether directly or indirectly financing violence or by fighting the war against terror. Incidents of violence anywhere in the world are deeply rooted in structures and systems. Today in Africa's contemporary history, violence is often analysed as 'pre-modern' in character and previously as external - both limited in comprehension. This book demonstrates that violence is systemically complex and consists of both internal and external factors."--BOOK JACKET.
