Description: Contemporary Africa is demographically characterized above all else by its youthfulness. In East Africa the median age of the population is now a striking 17.5 years, and more than 65 percent of the population is age 24 or under.
Review Quotes: "This thought-provoking anthology addresses some of the existing gaps in our understanding of the study of youth and generations in Africa.... Overall, this book is a welcome contribution to this emerging sub-field of African history. Its accessible language makes it a valuable resource fit for adoption at different levels in the teaching of African history."--The Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History
