Young PeopleAEs Daily Mobilities in Sub-Saharan Africa: Moving Young Lives (Anthropology, Change, and Development)

This book explores the daily mobilities and immobilities of children and young people in sub-Saharan Africa. The authors draw on findings from rural and urban field research extending over many years, culminating in a 24-site study across three African countries: Ghana, Malawi, and South Africa. Wider reflections on gender, relationality, the politics of mobility, and field methodology frame the study. By bringing together diverse strands of a complex daily mobilities pictureùfrom journeys for education, work, play/leisure and health, to associated experiences of different transport modes, road safety, and the virtual mobility now afforded by mobile phonesùthe book helps fill a knowledge gap with crucial significance for development policy and practice.
