Reviews

'Centering on a series of dramatic life histories and interviews in which the street children provide stunningly insightful and poetically expressed analyses of their own situations, Márquez's book is compellingly written and excellently thought out, makes important theoretical contributions, and portrays a fascinating situation with insights that will be useful to scholars in a variety of fields.' Linda-Anne Rebhuhn, Yale University
