Description:More Praise for Living by the Gun in Chad‘A welcome contribution, providing a wealth of data and rare detail, resulting in new scholarly insights whose significance goes far beyond Chad’s borders.’Mats Utas, Uppsala University‘A compelling and deeply-informed account of the militarisation of politics and society in Chad. Rather than leading to chaos, it convincingly shows how armed violence produces political order and is a crucial part of daily practices of dominance.’Koen Vlassenroot, Conflict Research Group, University of Ghent
