• Sommario/riassunto: There are many accepted views about the role and position of youth in the African agricultural economy. This book challenges those assumptions by analysing new studies, particularly of gender and social difference. It is a major contribution to current debates and development policy about youth, agriculture and employment in rural Africa.
