Soro Soke

The Young Disruptors of an African Megacity

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

People aged over 65 now outnumber children under five, yet one region in the world is bucking this trend: Africa's population under 35 now equals almost a billion people. Trish Lorenz speaks to the bright new entrepreneurs, artists, and activists of Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria, to understand what it means to be young in an otherwise ageing world.
