Abstract
This essay examines the ways child-soldier memoirs refashion the conventions of the quest-romance as a means of claiming political agency for the former child soldiers, even as the romance structure serves the readers of the memoirs differently, and in ways that threaten to compromise the political work the memoirists undertake.
