Reviews
""Black Youth Matters is an important and timely volume. The authors work towards a new language around social mobility--an intellectual triumph. They give us a new angle of vision on the question of race and how it is lived today.""--Greg Dimitriadis, Series Editor, Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy, SUNY Buffalo ""The authors do a fantastic job of giving [black] youth a voice, and they provide an excellent forum for a discussion about policies regarding school exclusion...Future studies should look to take the theoretical knowledge produced in this book and use it for creating hypotheses that can be tested and used to support the notion that excluding students from school has negative effects.""--Journal of Youth and Adolescence
