CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN AFRICAN HISTORY - SE DUFF...

This textbook introduces readers to the academic scholarship on the history of childhood and
youth in sub-Saharan Africa  with a particular focus on the colonial and postcolonial eras. In
a series of seven chapters  it addresses key themes in the historical scholarship  arguing that
age serves as a useful category for historical analysis in African history. Just as race  class
and gender can be used to understand how African societies have been structured over time  so
too age is a powerful tool for thinking about how power  youth  and seniority intersect and
change over time. This is  then  a work of synthesis rather than of new research based on
primary sources. This book will therefore introduce mainstream scholars of the history of
childhood and youth to the literature on Africa  and scholars of youth in Africa to debates
within the wider field of the history of children and youth.
