Children in the Democratic Republic of Congo have
seen their lives threatened, their families torn
apart, their schools destroyed, and their futures
compromised. Many are homeless—abandoned
street children, some accused of witchcraft, others
born of rape or orphaned by war.

But while children are the most vulnerable

segment of a broken society, they are also among
the most resilient.

Congo’s Children tells their stories, accompanied

by vivid photography and video and drawing on
reporting that has appeared in PBS NewsHour, The Washington Post, TruthAtlas, and other
outlets.

SERIES
by Elodie Razy & Marie Rodet
This book offers a timely, interdisciplinary perspective on
African childhood migration, exploring why, where, and
how children move within and beyond the continent. It
delves into the impact of migration on their welfare,
society, and the global context.
Examining experiences in Ghana, Madagascar, Mali, Nigeria,
South Africa, Senegal, Sudan, Togo, and Zambia, the
authors analyze patterns of fosterage, education, child
labor, and gendered strategies.
The study compares diverse methodological and theoretical
approaches, placing case studies in the context of family
migration, transnational families, colonial/postcolonial
politics, religious encounter, and globalization in Africa.
The authors, Elodie Razy and Marie Rodet, contribute expertise in Social and Cultural
Anthropology and African History, respectively.
