This open-access edited collection, focusing on Ghana and Nigeria,
offers a transatlantic, transnational exploration of barriers that
threaten the wellbeing of West African youth-ranging from Black
immigrant youth in the American city of Newark, New Jersey, to
students in Almajiri Islamic schools in Northern Nigeria.
Incorporating themes of migration, vulnerability, and agency and
aspirations, the book conveys the resilience of African youth
transitioning toward adulthood in a world of structural inequality.
It thus crosses the academic divide between Youth Studies and
African Studies, while challenging conventional framings of Black
youth as deficient and deviant-positing instead their individual
and collective creativity and assets. The contributors employ
different methodological approaches, including field research and
autoethnography, from varying multidisciplinary and practitioner
perspectives.
