Young Africa - Alex de Waal

In Africa, children and young people face crisis. Child death rates are rising and educational enrolment is falling. Children are victims in every war. Millions of young Africans are contracting HIV and AIDS. Neglected by society, Africa's youth are attracted to militarism and militant religion. YOUNG AFRICA pioneers new thinking on the rights of children and young people in Africa, and offers new approaches to tackling the violation of the rights of young Africans, and arguing that the world will benefit from investing in Africa's children.
