Abstract This article challenges the specter of the universal child and examines historical, conceptual, and structural factors that have resulted in a virtual absence of African-led contributions to research on early childhood care and development. It considers the dark side of good work, questions who defines “normative and desirable” and how it is measured, and considers ways forward in promoting African research capacity, leadership, identification of key issues, and scholarly engagement with ideas regarding African children’s future and how best to ensure healthy, hopeful, and capable future generations.
