"In this volume, Amy Best offers critical youth studies an
epistemological compass, a collection of essays that spans across
nations, methods, sexualities, ethnicities, generations and age,
reflecting provocatively on how we create knowledge with, for and
by youth. This book promises to be a classic for the next
generation of scholars perched to engage critically, respectfully,
theoretically and provocatively with youth, to inscribe a
twenty-first century signature on critical youth studies."
--Michelle Fine, co-author of "Working Method: Research and Social
Justice"
"A powerful and compelling book that represents cutting-edge new
directions in critical youth studies. This is a passionate call for
a critical moral consciousness that will create more humane spaces
for today's youth in our complex global culture."
--Norman K. Denzin, co-editor of "The SAGE Handbook of Qualitative
Research"
From youth culture to adolescent sexuality to the consumer
purchasing power of children en masse, studies are flourishing. Yet
doing research on this unquestionably more vulnerable--whether five
or fifteen--population also poses a unique set of challenges and
dilemmas for researchers. How should a six-year-old be approached
for an interview? What questions and topics are appropriate for
twelve year olds? Do parents need to give their approval for all
studies?
In Representing Youth, Amy L. Best has assembled an important
group of essays from some of todayas top scholars on the subject of
youth that address these concerns head on, providing scholars with
thoughtful and often practical answers to their many methodological
concerns. Theseoriginal essays range from how to conduct research
on youth in ways that can be empowering for them, to issues of
writing and representation, to respecting boundaries and to dealing
with issues of risk and responsibility to those interviewed. For
anyone doing research or working with children and young adults,
Representing Youth offers an indispensable guide to many of the
unique dilemmas that research with kids entails.
