Ambivalent rage - Youth Gangs and Urban Protest in Conakry, Guinea
Youth Gangs and Urban Protest in Conakry, Guinea
Joschka Philipps
Why do urban youth gangs protest against a political regime? And why do their protests occur right in the center of a capital city? Ambivalent rage investigates the world of youth gangs and politics in the West-African city of Conakry, Guinea. It sheds lights on how young men organize in gangs, how they perceive, confront and collaborate with the political elite and how his translate their precariousness into political instability.
