SUMMARY

The failure of current policy to address important quality of life issues for urban youth remains a substantial barrier to civic participation, educational equity, and healthy adulthood among urban youth. This volume brings together the work of leading urban youth scholars, highlighting the detrimental impact of zero tolerance policies on young people's educational experience and well being. Building on empirical research, the authors outline both theoretical approaches and concrete strategies for educators, youth development practitioners, and policy makers. Undergirded by the conviction that urban youth have the right to a more equitable education, social resources, and political representation, Beyond Resistance! offers new insights into how to increase the effectiveness of both youth development programs and education, and how to create more humane and responsive youth policies at the local, state and federal level.Noguera, Pedro is the author of 'Beyond Resistance! Youth Activism And Community Change New Democratic Possibilities for Practice And Policy for America's Youth', published 2006 under ISBN 9780415952507 and ISBN 0415952506.
