This edited volume offers a rich collection of up-to-date research
and critical scholarship from various African institutions on
incidents of youth violence, intervention and prevention in
sub-Saharan Africa. It integrates thinking, evidence, responses,
and debates relating to this topic, laying the basis for fresh
insights and innovative strategies. The chapters capture a spectrum
of pertinent issues such as economic hardship, lockdowns, sexual
and reproductive health, pregnancy, online sexual harassment,
xenophobic violence, and micro-aggressions in school contexts, and
present guidelines on how countries might learn from successful
interventions recently implemented. They explore young people's
access to familial and community resources, state-sponsored
initiatives, peer counselling, youth-friendly services, and other
relevant structures. Thus, among other things, this volume
stimulates further debate on what is driving violence in different
African contexts-specifically, how intersectional identities create
vulnerabilities to violence-and influences ways of dealing with the
issue. This interdisciplinary and cross-cutting volume serves as a
vital resource for experts at universities, in international
organisations, civil society groups and intergovernmental
organisations who wish to both analyse and take action to address
and prevent the type of violence that currently afflicts young
people sub-Saharan Africa today.
This book provides an in-depth account of a qualitative study on
the familial arrangements and domestic settings shaping interracial
gay partnerships in the South African context, and it offers both
empirical and theoretical insights on the topic. While heterosexual
intimate relationships, particularly mixed-race couples, have
attracted societal and scholarly attention in South Africa due to
the country's past history of racial segregation, it is, however,
striking how little emphasis is placed on understanding same-sex
unions in a transforming South Africa. This book is timely and
important because it explores the vignettes, complexities and
dynamics of interracial gay intimate relationships, an area that
hardly gets the scholarly attention it deserves. The book addresses
the intersectionality, and the question of how sexuality, gender,
racial identity and personal resources influence the relationship
as well as the way resilience strategies are drawn upon to sustain
the partnership.
