Exploring the story of Africa''s contemporary history and politics through the lens of peacekeeping, this concise and accessible book, based on over a decade of research across ten countries, focuses not on peacekeeping in Africa but, rather, peacekeeping by Africans. Going beyond the question of why post-conflict states contribute troops to peacekeeping efforts, Jonathan Fisher and Nina Wil¿demonstrate how peacekeeping is ¿ and has been ¿ weaved into Africa''s national, regional and international politics more broadly, as well as what implications this has for how we should understand the continent, its history and its politics. In doing so, and drawing on fieldwork undertaken in every region of the continent, Fisher and Wil¿explain how profoundly this involvement in peacekeeping has shaped contemporary Africa.
