Young people are transforming the global landscape. As the human popu-lation 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.
Featuring insightful interviews with youth, adults, and government officials, Stuck tells the story of an ambitious, controlling government trying to govern an exceptionally young and poor population in a densely populated and rapidly urbanizing country. This pioneering book sheds new light on the struggle to come of age and suggests new pathways toward the attainment of security, development, and coexistence in Africa and beyond.
