![]() Girl Soldiers in World War I: Marina Yulova and Sofja Nowosie?ska, Margaret R. Contextualizing Children’s Armed Conflict Historicallyġ. Introduction: Broadening the Conversation, Daniel Thomas Cook and John Wall This book moves beyond conceptualizing the child simply as either ‘victim’ or ‘soldier’ by examining children’s experiences of armed conflict in their broader historical, sociological, anthropological, literary, cultural, psychological, and public policy complexities. Children and Armed Conflict explores the multi-faceted ways in which children have encountered armed conflict, illuminating their varied historical and contemporary roles. They are and have been fighters, victims, refugees, peace-builders and reasons both to enter into and to end wars. Children, like others, are both subject to the consequences of war and actively involved in many aspects of conflict. In the disruption and destruction of the lives of children, their families and communities, childhood itself transforms and takes shape. Violence, conflict, and war challenge everyday understandings about the ‘nature’ of children and boundaries of childhood. ![]() Studies in Childhood and Youth, Series Editors Allison James and Adrian James Edited by Daniel Thomas Cook (Rutgers University, Camden) and John Wall (Rutgers University, Camden) ![]()
