With 70 per cent of its people under the age of 30, Africa is the
world's youngest continent. African youngsters have been largely
characterized as either vulnerable victims of the frequent
humanitarian crises that plague their homelands, or as violent
militarized youth and 'troubled' gang members. Young people's
contributions to processes of educational provision, peace building
and participatory human development in Africa are often ignored.
While acknowledging the profound challenges associated with growing
up in an environment of uncertainty and deprivation, African
Childhoods sheds light on African children's often constructive
engagement with a variety of societal conditions, adverse or
otherwise, and their ability to positively influence their own
lives and those of others.
