This book explores the connections between changing childhoods and versions of African futures to develop insights into how children are living embodiments of history and prospective agents of social change. Drawing on research in diverse cultural ecologies, the authors of ten chapters discuss findings linked to apprecnticeship, learning, work, rights, schools, peace, education, aspirations, conflicts and refugee integration - and how these are encountered by children in everyday life. They describe studies in Benin, Burkina Faso. Côte d'ivoire, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa and Zimbabwe--Back cover.
