The Importance of Being Innocent addresses the current debate in Australia and internationally regarding the sexualisation of children, predation on them by pedophiles and the risks apparently posed to their 'innate innocence' by perceived problems and threats in contemporary society. Joanne Faulkner argues that, contrary to popular opinion, social issues have been sensationally expounded in moral panics about children who are often presented as alternatively obese, binge-drinking and drug-using, self-harming, neglected, abused, medicated and driven to anti-social behavior by TV and computers. This erudite and thought-provoking book instead suggests that modern western society has reacted to problems plaguing the adult world by fetishizing children as innocents, who must be protected from social realities. Taking a philosophical and sociological perspective, it outlines the various historical trends, emotional investments and social tensions that shape contemporary ideas about what childhood represents, and our responsibilities in regard to children.

Célio Matemona (bijgenaamd Célio Mathématik) groeit op in armoede, maar droomt van een toekomst als wiskundige. Het kostbaarste bezit van deze wees is een oud schoolboek van zijn vader, die gedood werd tijdens een conflict. Met de theorieën en formules uit het boek probeert de Célio het lot, dat hem tot nu toe niet gunstig gezind was, naar zijn hand te zetten. Wanneer hij een baan krijgt aangeboden als adviseur van de president, lijkt zijn droom in vervulling te gaan. Door de rake beschrijvingen en de sterke karakters weet Bofane het verhaal en de personages dicht bij de lezer te brengen. Die volgt een jongen op weg naar volwassenheid, tegen de achtergrond van het levendige Kinshasa. Met een mengeling van humor en ernst, voortkomend uit zijn eigen, vaak pijnlijke ervaringen, wekt Bofane Congo tot leven.
