As experiências de vida da juventude angolana na actualidade são moldadas pelo conflito e por novas esperanças. Isso aplica-se tanto aos que nasceram e foram criados em áreas rurais – as mais afectadas pela guerra – como à juventude urbana, com mais acesso à modernidade, mas cujo futuro está igualmente sob uma ameaça permanente. Guerra e incerteza afectam a forma como os jovens enfrentam o futuro, limitando as suas possibilidades de tomada de decisões sobre suas vidas. A paz trouxe novas oportunidades mas também muitos desafios. Com base em dados qualitativos recolhidos em Angola, este trabalho analisa os desafios que os jovens enfrentam hoje neste país, as suas expectativas e aspirações para o futuro, e a forma como estes são moldados por uma certa ideia de modernidade.
