This volume seeks to address what its contributors take to be an important lacuna in youth cultural research: a lack of interest in the phenomenon of collectivity and collective aspects of youth culture.

This book examines how protective and risk factors associated with two distinct types of youth violence-exposure to and engagement in violence-are nested within four layers of the ecological framework: community, family, peers, and youth characteristics.

This comprehensive book brings together reflections, lessons and insights relating to the post Covid-19 era in Zimbabwe.
