'This book provides an excellent in-depth discussion of children’s and young people’s engagements with diverse urban environments. By integrating theoretical concepts and empirical concerns, the book shows how place, social differences, poverty and global processes of change affect the lives of children and youth in both majority and minority world contexts.' Dr Ruth Evans, Lecturer in Human Geography, University of Reading, UK.
'An essential and compelling contribution to the growing body of work that seeks to understand and explain children as active agents in their own right. By weaving theory with relevant case studies this book brings together a number of contemporary debates on the issues facing marginalised children and young people living in urban areas in an accessible and thought provoking way. It makes a valuable contribution to the complex issues facing children and young people living in 21st Century cites today.' Dr Harriot Beazley, Lecturer in Human Geography, University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia.
