Introduction -- 1. Africa Before, During and After Colonial Rule -- 2. Peacebuilding, Statebuilding and Liberal Peace -- 3. The Liberal Peace in Question -- 4. Power, Resistance and Hybridity in International Peacebuilding -- 5. The Struggle for Sierra Leone -- 6. Building a liberal Peace in Post-Conflict Sierra Leone -- 7. Local NGOs and Autonomous Maneuvering -- 8. Youth-Traditional Authorities' Relations in Post-War Sierra Leone -- 9. In Search for Emancipatory Hybridity in Sierra Leone -- Conclusion.

The book makes theoretical and empirical contributions to recent debates on hybrid forms of peace and 'post-liberal' peace. In applying concepts of power, hybridity and resistance, and providing different kinds of hybridity and resistance to explore post-conflict peacebuilding in Sierra Leone, the author makes an original contribution to existing literature by providing various ways in which power can be exercised not just between locals and internationals, but also among locals themselves and the nature of peace that is produced. This volume provides various ways in which hybridity and resistance can be manifested. A more rigorous development of these concepts not only offers a better understanding of the nature of these concepts, but also helps us to distinguish forms of hybridity and resistance that are emancipatory or transformatory from those that result in people accommodating themselves to their situation. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of peacebuilding, peace and conflict studies, International Relations and African Studies, and practitioners of peacebuilding and post-conflict reconstruction.
