GENDER AND CULTURAL STUDIES IN AFRICA AND THE D...

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.
