很少有关于非洲向成年过渡的研究分析青年人自己对赋予成年地位的事件的定义，以及成年实际上是如何实现的。本文探讨了过渡到妇女在农村姆普马兰加省，南非的经验，利用采访18名妇女年龄在18-39岁。三个主要的经验特点这个过渡：青春期和新兴的身体意识，花时间与男孩，并有一个孩子。然而，比这些经历的时间更重要的是，女性在成年后是否“表现良好”并保持体面。强化理想女性气质的行为标准集中在着装、举止和谈吐上，对母亲尤其严格。我们的研究结果强调了成年的主位模型的价值，了解青年如何经历这种转变，并提供了一个重要的反叙述的文学主要集中在非洲青年在这一时期的生活过程中面临的风险。
Few studies on the transition to adulthood in Africa analyse young people’s own definitions of the events that confer adult status, and how adulthood is actually attained. This paper examines the experience of transitioning to womanhood in rural Mpumalanga Province, South Africa, drawing on interviews with 18 women aged 18–39. Three primary experiences characterised this transition: puberty and emerging body awareness, spending time with boys, and having a child. More important than the timing of these experiences, however, was whether women ‘behaved well’ and maintained respectability as they transitioned to adulthood. Behavioural standards reinforcing ideal femininity were focused on dress, manner, and talk, and were particularly stringent for mothers. Our findings emphasise the value of emic models of adulthood for understanding how youth experience this transition and provide an important counter-narrative to the literature focused primarily on the risk African youth face during this period of change in the life course.
