The Outcast Majority invites policymakers, practitioners,
academics, students, and others to think about three commanding
contemporary issues-war, development, and youth-in new ways. The
starting point is the following irony: while Africanyouth are
demographically dominant, many act as if they are members of an
outcast minority. The irony directly informs young people's lives
in war-affected Africa, where differences separating the priorities
of youth and those of international agencies are especially
prominent. Drawing on interviews with development experts and young
people, Marc Sommers shines a light on this gap and offers guidance
on how to close it. He begins with a comprehensive consideration of
forces that shape and propel the lives of African youth today,
particularly those experiencing or emerging from war. They are
contrasted with forces that influence and constrain the
international development aid enterprise. The book concludes with a
framework for making development policies and practices
significantly more relevant and effective for youth in areas
affected by African wars and other places where vast and vibrant
youth populations reside.
