The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

The State of Africa: Post-conflict Reconstruction and Development, edited by D Kotze and H Solomon

This publication focuses on a number of themes including gender and post-conflict reconstruction, the transformation of war economies into peace economies, elections in Africa in the context of post-conflict reconstruction, constitutional negotiations and power-sharing arrangements, and the predicament of ethnic identities in the DRC. The NEPAD framework is also analysed in detail. All of these themes serve as indicators for Africa of the lessons to be learned from the post-conflict reconstruction processes already in progress.
