Product Description

Review

""The Time of Youth" is one of the most comprehensive considerations to date of the situation of young people in contemporary Africa -- their social, economic, and political location, and the diverse imaginings with which the seek to reproduce and reform their worlds. Focusing on a careful comparison of four national contexts in which youth, deprived of the means of sustaining adult existence, strive to reshape the landscape of civic life, Honwana convinces us that the African cases reveal what is an ever more world-wide situation. It is one in which the young must come to terms with conditions of both unprecedented expectation and exclusion; where seductive new tools and ambitions seem incapable, in themselves, of ensuring access to the full social membership presumed by generations past."
