This post should focus on Alcinda Honwana’s The Time of Youth: Work, Social Change, and Politics in Africa. You are welcome to discuss any part of the book  argument or key theme, whether one that runs across the entire book or just a particular chapter. Some questions you might consider:

What is “waithood” and what consequences does it have for African youth?

How do African youth navigate the social challenges they encounter? What does youth have to do with African development and/or public policy?
