About the Author
Nigel Watt worked in Burundi for several years and was formerly Director of the Africa Centre in London.
Review
"A very accessible, empathic, and yet accurate book. Nigel Watt puts people and their experiences and emotions at the middle of his story."--Filip Reyntjens, University of Antwerp
"A book about reality, an item in very short supply when people write about African conflicts....Hope based on nice feelings is a non-starter in the nasty world of Africa's small wars. Nigel Watt provides the only picture of hope which can be realistically contemplated, that which bases itself on informed and uncompromising local knowledge. This is a book which should be read by all humanitarian workers and members of the international community involved in what are today coyly called 'complex emergencies."--Gérard Prunier, author of frica's World War: Congo, the Rwandan Genocide, and the Making of a Continental Catastrophe
"Topical and action-oriented, can be read as an almost complete introduction for the newcomer to the subject."--Race and Class
"Watt's political overview is remarkable for its attention to detail and balanced assessment EL From peacemakers at Kibimba to media reformers at Radio Ijambo, to human rights mobilizers at Iteka, Watts seems to know all the key players and has accurately described the mission and effect of each. With deft descriptions and telling quotations from his interviews, he captures the character and voice of these long-suffering people.' African Studies Review
