Abstract
This study reviews almost all of the major instances of rebellion in sub-Saharan Africa since the 1950's to better understand the organization of rebellion. In particular, this study examines an issue which has profoundly divided scholars: the role of rational calculations in life or death issues;The decision to rebel is different than the decision to vote. The paper argues that part of the reason for the persistent and intensifying confusion over the nature of rebellion is that analysts have lost sight of the rebels' role in organizing violence.
