| Sommario/riassunto: | This innovative ethnography of young people's sexual relationships in rural Africa combines the validity of detailed qualitative research with the representativeness of a large scale study, providing a rich analysis with which to question and interpret survey data on adolescent sexual health. It describes the variety of young people's sexual relationships, the contradictory norms and expectations that lead them to be concealed, the ubiquity of material exchange for sex, and poor understandings of contraception and HIV/AIDS. |
