Focusing on scholarly work from 2001 to 2011, this annotated bibliography highlights diverse approaches to child and youth studies in Africa. It critiques the dominant view of children as vulnerable, emphasizing their agency and participation in socioeconomic activities. The research reveals a disconnect between Western and African perspectives, particularly regarding children's rights and labor participation. Topics like HIV/AIDS, violence, and street children underscore the ongoing narrative of vulnerability, shaped largely by Western constructs of childhood. This resource is essential for researchers in the field.
