The book takes a step in critical political economy on the concept of waithood, or the longstanding, institutionally imposed waiting period between a state of childhood and socially acknowledged adulthood, among Sierra Leonean youth. The author opposes the explanatory models of cultural pathology and personal failure, proving that waithood is a historically constructed phenomenon that originated from colonial interventions, which disrupted the systematically established mechanisms of intergenerational social reproduction. The pre-colonial secret societies (Poro and Bondo), age-grade, and land tenure based on lineage offered sure channels to adult status via ritual initiation, matrimony, and access to productive resources. These institutions were gutted by British colonial rule (the 1896 Hut Tax, compulsory labour on the railroads, mission education, and indirect rule), producing a structurally superfluous group of educated but unemployed literates who were no longer in touch with gerontocratic power, as well as with the colonial wage labour force.
