• Sommario/riassunto: Young people are transforming the global landscape. As the human popu­lation today is younger and more urban than ever before, prospects for achieving adulthood dwindle while urban migration soars. Stuck demonstrates how the Central African nation of Rwanda provides a compelling setting for grasping new challenges to the world's youth.
