Best Regards,

We are elated to inform you that 2017 Fellow, Dr.

We are elated to inform you that 2017 Fellow, Dr. Ademola Adesola's monograph 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘈𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘕𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 will be out next month.

Here is a link to the webpage for information about the book: https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781666954500/Representations-of-Child-Soldiers-in-Contemporary-African-Narratives

Here are some acclaims for 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘈𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘕𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴:

“This is an insightful analysis of the ways in which agency and choice feature in the lives of African child soldiers, especially those depicted in fiction and life writing. Adesola questions the degree to which such narratives as Ahmadou Kourouma’s 𝘈𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘩 𝘪𝘴 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘖𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘥 and Ishmael Beah’s 𝘈 𝘓𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘞𝘢𝘺 𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘦, among others, reflect the lived realities of children in African conflict zones. He calls on writers and scholars to eschew the human rights and humanitarian discourses that traditionally dominate such representations, suggesting that more nuanced representations are more appropriate.” —𝗝𝗼𝘆𝗮 𝗨𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗲, 𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗶𝘀 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆
________________

“Adesola Adesola’s study is a thoughtful and thorough critique of the African child soldier phenomenon that is so prevalent in twenty-first century popular culture. Its careful analysis dismantles longstanding racist and colonial stereotypes about Africa and its people, and offers new insights and avenues for research.” —𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗛𝗿𝗼𝗻, 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆

“In 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘈𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘕𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 the brilliant ideas of an original thinker and the clear and accessible language of a meticulous scholar converge to articulate African literature’s commitment to redeeming the slanted image of the child soldier prevalent in humanitarian discourses on war and childhood in Africa. This thought-pro
