505 0 |a This is the first title in a new series Interventions, a strategic initiative by CODESRIA, aimed at promoting the research output of the younger generation of academics and scholars in Africa, and encouraging the exchange of ideas and experiences between young researchers about African issues. The series intends to create an opportunity for a younger generation of Africans, which is of key demographic importance, to become more engaged in public and/or academic debates about the future of their continent. The five essays included in this volume were selected from entries submitted to an essay writing competition, held to mark the CODESRIA's thirtieth anniversary. The competition invited aspiring writers and scholars under the age of thirty to reflect on the role of the social sciences in the construction of the future on the continent, and on the relationship between scientific knowledge in improving both individuals' lives and furthering the advancement and development of societies 
520 |a Africa's younger generation is often perceived as muted and distant to the struggle for answers and meaning on the continent. Could the perceived silence of the younger generation be explained in part by the deafness of age to the kicks of youth? What can be done to make the younger generation more committed and relevant in the quest for solutions to the challenges of knowledge production and development?
