Books by Claire Metelits

This book questions the dominant Western narrative of security threats in Africa. By assessing the origins of the traditional approach to security and problematizing failed states, political instability, Muslim populations, and poverty, among others, it makes the case for a critical approach to framing security challenges in Africa.

Offers an understanding of insurgency and explains the changing behavior of insurgent groups toward the civilians they claim to represent. This book seeks to establish whether contemporary subcultures display modern or postmodern sensibilities and forms.
