CPAID monographs and edited collections

Naomi book

Dr Naomi Pendle

A fresh perspective on conflict and peace-making that highlights the cosmologies and invisible entities that state, society and religious authorities draw on to claim or reclaim legitimacy and control.

 

SarafianContesting300

 (2023)

Dr Iliana Sarafian 

Roma identities have often been presented in literature as collectively constructed and in opposition to those who are not Roma. Contesting Moralities challenges these preconceptions about Roma identification by disentangling the binaries between Roma and non-Roma, state and non-state, public and private.

State politics300

 (2023)

Dr Gedion Onyango (eds)

The book advocates for a regionally-focused comparative approach across Africa, arguing that it provides a greater level of analysis than a complete continental study. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, it covers numerous topics relating to politics, public policy, state and nation-building in Africa.

book-cover-after-rape

After Rape: Violence, Justice, and Social Harmony in Uganda (2019)

 (2019)

- Charles Okumu, Associate Professor, Gulu University 

book-cover-new-pan-africanism

book-cover-humanitarianism

 (2019)

Tim Allen, Anna Macdonald & Henry Radice (eds)
