Abstract
The essays in this volume touch to the core of challenges in resolving existing conflicts in the region, and efforts at transforming post-conflict societies in the Great Lakes. As well, it acknowledges that Africa is home to myriads of conflict-handling mechanisms that are cultural and contextual. The book weaves detailed accounts of conflicts in Rwanda, Uganda, and Congo DR as well as presenting detailed appraisals of peacebuilding processes. Land ownership and gender roles are also examined with other contextual factors such as governance and human security. The work is supported by the UN-mandated University for Peace (UPEACE).
