Childrens Agency and Development
in African Societies
This book focuses on African childhood and youth within the context of develop-
ment and socialization where children are expected to be moulded in the image of
adults. In many African societies children are generally held as passive bearers of the
demands of adults, regardless of the fact that they are often exposed to a multitude of
challenges that originate from the capriciousness of those adults. However, buoyed by
international conventions and national legislations that offer them greater protection,
and the ubiquitous internet that exposes them to childhood and youth experiences
elsewhere, many of them are increasingly becoming assertive in homes, schools, and
communities as well as re-invigorating their survival and self-preservation instincts.
It is in this regard that this book, through the various chapters, engages with their
competencies, skills and creativity to respond to experiential challenges as indepen-
dent migrants or ones under coercion working in city streets and markets or cocoa
farms or juggling work and schooling in pursuit of some education. Confronted with
their parents and siblings health predicaments and the inadequacies of state and
familial care, or urgent negotiation of their sexualities, they demonstrate incredible
resilience. Similarly, their perceptiveness is demonstrated in a unique appreciation
of politics and its actors and a capacity to assume responsibilities beyond their
chronological age. Thus while highlighting some of the challenges confronting African
children, the book provides gripping evidence of how they resiliency negotiate
those challenges.
