Street Children In Sierra Leone Who Forgive Those Who Physically And Sexually Abuse Them, Samuel Hinton
Street Children In Sierra Leone Who Forgive Those Who Physically And Sexually Abuse Them, Samuel Hinton
Samuel Hinton
Adults in Sierra Leone and some other sub-Saharan countries who are in combat in various groups have unashamedly used and abused children in selfish and dastardly wars, says Hinton (educational studies, Eastern Kentucky U., Richmond). He conducted a study involving 36 street children from the provincial capital Bo and the national capital Freetown, interviewing them not so much about their experiences during the war, but how they felt later about those who had wronged them. He reports his findings here in such chapters as the problem and its setting; children in crises, theology, theory, and poverty; failed peace and retrospective …

Balancing memories of his homeland with dreams of his adopted country, Hinton takes his reader on a journey that is often upsetting, but always engaging.
