Reviews
In the sweet spot where critical youth participatory action research sits alongside youth organizing and arts activism, these writers -- academics, activists, and artivists -- light up a provocative volume designed for those who yearn to engage creative research for social justice, but may be a little anxious. The table of contents is a stunning assemblage of writers, crafting inquiries for justice, rooted in critical race, queer, transnational and decolonizing theories, asking always how to honor the critical insights and incites of young people at the edge, and how to build aesthetic and epistemic justice to provoke the radical imagination. Maxine Greene is giggling in her grave. Bravo to all. - Michelle Fine, Distinguished Professor of Critical Psychology and Urban Education, The City University of New York (CUNY), USA Youth practice is alive and well, and this book attests to its vibrancy. Engaging Youth in Critical Arts Pedagogies and Creative Research for Social Justice Opportunities and Challenges of Arts-based Work and Research with Young People captures the promise, excitement, and energy by discussing participatory democracy, youth, the arts, and social justice. What makes this book unique is that it effectively bridges theory and its application to practice, which is often a difficult challenge to overcome. The editors are to be commended for integrating youth voices throughout and even having them play a direct and active role in contributing content so that their voices are not drowned out by adults. In essence, this book will find a home in the academy and in the field, a rare accomplishment. I highly recommend this book! - Melvin Delgado, Professor of Social Work, Boston University, USA
