Youth in Africa
The twenty-first century presents a hostile face to millions of children and youth in many African countries. An increasing number of children are suffering from war, poverty, abuse, human-rights violations and the effects of AIDS. African youth, while forming a numerical majority, often feel excluded from power and are marginalized in socio-economic terms. The conflict between generations and age groups is a phenomenon of enduring concern in many parts of the continent. In neopatrimonial countries in particular, emerging generations are often confronted with 'blocked mobility' and are therefore excluded from employment and access to political power. The issue of blocked mobility forms the background to the rise of various opposition groups and resistance movements among youth in Africa.
The international conference on "Youth and the Politics of Generational Conflict in Africa" in Leiden on 24 and 25 April 2003 addresses issues of youth, politics and conflict in Africa in a comparative perspective. The Library, Documentation and Information Department of the ASC has compiled this dossier on Youth in Africa to coincide with the conference. The dossier contains a selection of titles from the library's online catalogue, as well as selected web resources on youth in Africa. It covers monographs, articles and chapters from edited works published in the last five years (1998-2003), which are arranged as follows: Youth and War; Youth and Politics; Generations; Street Children; Youth (general). Within each section, titles are arranged by year of publication and within each year, alphabetically by author. Each title links directly with the corresponding record in the online catalogue, which provides a more detailed description of all titles as well as abstracts of articles and edited works.
For information about the dossier, please contact the library information desk asclibrary@ascleiden.nl or phone: +31 (0)71 5273354.
