"The edited collection focuses on the links between young people and African popular culture. It explores popular culture produced and consumed by young people in contemporary Africa. And by "culture," we mean all kinds of texts or representations-visual, oral, written, performative, fictional, social, and virtual-created by African youth, mostly about their lives and their immediate societies, and for themselves, but also consumed by the larger public, and shared locally and globally.

Ce livre est une tentative de redécouverte du panafricanisme afin de démontrer son utilité pour l'Afrique du XXIe siècle. Il propose une analyse des grandes idées qui ont permis l'élaboration du projet panafricain ainsi qu'une étude plus approfondie des idées de Julius Nyerere et de la manière dont il a tenté de les mettre en application à travers Ujamaa (son programme de développement agraire) et l'instauration du Pan-African Skills Projet (un projet de coopération technique initié par des militants afro-américains pour soutenir le programme de développement du gouvernement tanzanien) à partir des années 1960.
