Journal Title: Brazilian Journal of African Studies - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 4

Abstract

The Time of Youth is a book published in August 2012 in the United States by the Mozambican anthropologist Alcinda Honwana with the title – The Time of Youth: Work, Social Change and Politics in Africa. In May 2013, its Portuguese version was published in Maputo. In this book, the author discusses the experiences of young Africans in waithood3 and analyzes the socioeconomic challenges that most of these young people (also at the global level) face in the contemporary world. The book is a result of researches made in four African countries, namely: Mozambique, South Africa, Tunisia and Senegal, between 2008 and 2011. The book’s object of analysis are the many experiences lived by the young (particularly Africans) about how they deal with problems (such as unemployment, marginalization, the lack of civil liberties and sustainable means of survival, as well as, social inequalities) generated by failures of neoliberal politics, bad governance and political crises in Africa (Honwana 2013, 3 and 218). According to Honwana (2013), most part of the research was made with young people in urban contexts and only occasionally in rural contexts.
