While Africa has experienced political and social turbulence throughout its history, more recent conflicts seem to reinforce the myth of barbarism across the continent: in Nigeria, Rwanda, Somalia, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Kenya, Mozambique, Chad, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Sudan. The essays in this volume address reductive and stereotypical assumptions of postcolonial violence as "tribal" in nature, and offer instead various perspectives -- across disciplinary boundaries -- that foster a less fetishized, more contextualized understanding of African war, peace, and memory. -- Jacket. 650 0 $a War in mass media $v Congresses. 650 0 $a War in literature $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Peace in literature $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Mass media and war $z Africa, Sub-Saharan $v Congresses. 650 0 $a War $x Press coverage $z Africa, Sub-Saharan $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Mass media and peace $z Africa, Sub-Saharan $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Peace $x Press coverage $z Africa, Sub-Saharan $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Stereotypes (Social psychology) in mass media $v Congresses. 651 0 $a Africa, Sub-Saharan $x In mass media $v Congresses. 650 6 $a Guerre dans les meÌdias $v CongreÌs. 650 6 $a Guerre dans la litteÌrature $v CongreÌs. 650 6 $a Paix dans la litteÌrature $v CongreÌs. 650 6 $a MeÌdias et guerre $z Afrique subsaharienne $v CongreÌs. 650 6 $a Guerre $x Couverture de presse $z Afrique subsaharienne $v CongreÌs. 650 6 $a MeÌdias et paix $z Afrique subsaharienne $v CongreÌs. 650 6 $a Paix $x Couverture de presse $z Afrique subsaharienne $v CongreÌs. 650 6 $a SteÌreÌotypes dans les meÌdias $v CongreÌs. 651 6 $a Afrique subsaharienne $x Dans les meÌdias $v CongreÌs. 650 7 $a Mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011219 650 7 $a Mass media and peace. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011358 650 7 $a Mass media and war. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011378 650 7 $a Peace in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01055856 650 7 $a Peace $x Press coverage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01983709 650 7 $a Stereotypes (Social psychology) in mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01431526 650 7 $a War in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170505 650 7 $a War in mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170507 650 7 $a War $x Press coverage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170359 651 7 $a Sub-Saharan Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239520 650 7 $a Literatur $2 gnd 650 7 $a Krieg $g Motiv $2 gnd 650 7 $a Friede $g Motiv $2 gnd 650 7 $a Massenmedien $2 gnd 651 7 $a Subsaharisches Afrika $2 gnd 650 7 $a Massmedia och krig.
