The contributorsrecount not only what they have seen and heard in war zones but alsowhat is being read, studied, analyzed and remembered in such diverselocations as Colombia and Guatemala, Israel and Palestine, Iraq,Afghanistan, and Haiti.

In detailed reports from the field, theyreflect on the important issue of "accountability" andoffer explanations to discern causes, patterns, and practices of war. Through this unique lens, the contributors provide the insight andanalysis needed for a deeper understanding of one of the greatestissues of our times.

Rather than emphasising boundaries and territories by examining the 'integration' and 'acculturation' of the immigrant or the refugee, this book offers insights into the ideas and practices of individuals settling into new societies and cultures. It analyses their ideas of connecting and belonging; their accounts of the past, the present and the future; the interaction and networks of relations; practical strategies; and the different meanings of 'home' and belonging that are constructed in new sociocultural settings.

The author uses empirical research to explore the experiences of refugees from the successor states of Yugoslavia, who are struggling to make a home for themselves in Amsterdam and Rome. By explaining how real people navigate through the difficulties of their displacement as well as the numerous scenarios and barriers to their emplacement, the author sheds new light on our understanding of what it is like to be a refugee.

Views from the Frontline

Reviews "This is the best book on the anthropology of war I have ever read That, combined with the collection's obvious contemporary political relevance and the exemplariness of the chapters as examples of the contemporary anthropology of war, makes it ideal for both university courses and even the public at large. If you want to read a book on the anthropology of war, or use one in your teaching, this is the one you should. Each chapter shows in poignant and powerful ways how anthropologists can marshal evidence against war and related conflict.
