Reviews

"'Participatory arts-based methods are becoming increasingly popular within health and social research. The book not only describes, but also considers the challenges of and for such methods with young people. Its concepts, as well as its practical descriptions, will provide a rich resource for many research fields.' Kay Tisdall, Professor of Childhood Policy at the University of Edinburgh, UK 'This original book offers a unique platform for young people in Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, and Rwanda to express in their own words, images, and performances how their families, communities, and countries can move out of everyday and structural violence. These young people artfully demonstrate their active agency as builders of peace and influencers of policy so that ""justice can be done well."" Page after page gives readers life-affirming insights into the myriad ways in which young people craft a better tomorrow from the chaos and violence of today.' Tim Prenki, Emeritus Professor of Theatre for Development, University of Winchester, UK"
