The book explores the role of young trade union leaders in Côte d'Ivoire's socio-political crises since the 1990s, particularly during the 2002 armed rebellion and the 2011 post-electoral turmoil. It examines the dynamics within public universities, focusing on the FESCI and the conflicts between various youth factions, including the "Young Patriots" and pro-Gbagbo or pro-Ouattara groups. Through biographical accounts and media analysis, it investigates how these leaders emerged as significant political actors and the social factors shaping their trajectories.
