Abstract

"In Niger, urban centers have become ... areas of unemployment filled with young men trying ... to find jobs and fill their time with meaningful occupations ... [The] fada [is] a space where men gather to escape boredom by talking, playing cards, listening to music, and drinking tea ... a place in which new forms of sociability and belonging are forged ... [The author] offers a nuanced depiction of how young men in urban Niger engage in the quest for recognition and reinvent their own masculinity in the absence of conventional avenues to self-realization ..."--Back cover.
