Despite international conventions and the efforts of organizations such as UNICEF, many children in Africa remain victims of abuse and exploitation. This innovative study examines the representation of these scourges in two contemporary African novels: Journal d'une bonne by Dissirama Boutora-Takpa and La petite fille des eaux, coordinated by Florent Couao-Zotti.Through an in-depth analysis of these works, the author highlights how contemporary African literature denounces the growing non-respect of children's rights and its devastating impact on individual and societal development.Combining thematic, sociocritical and narratological approaches, this book sheds a striking light on one of the most pressing issues of our time. It is aimed at researchers, social actors and all those interested in children's rights and committed African literature.An essential contribution to understanding and combating child abuse and trafficking in Africa.
