Construction Sites: Excavating Race, Class, and Gender Among Urban Youth

There's much talk these days about school and community relations for adolescents, yet little is known about the lives of youth at the borders. The authors explore the borders of schooling to understand the range of spaces that youth form and reform identities, relations and social movements amidst feminism, civil rights, welfare rights and lesbian/gay movements.

Summary

There is much talk these days about school and community relations for adolescents, and yet little is known about life at the borders, much less the stories of the youth who sojourn between. This work aims to offer an understanding of the range of spaces within which youth are forming identities.
