James Youniss and Miranda Yates present a sophisticated analysis of
community service's beneficial effects on adolescents' political
and moral identity.
Using a case study from a predominantly Black, urban high school in
Washington, D.C., Youniss and Yates build on the insights of Erik
Erikson on the social and historical nature of identity
development. They show that service at a soup kitchen as part of a
course on social justice gives youth the opportunity to reflect on
their status in society, on how society is organized, on how
government should use its power, and on moral principles related to
homelessness and poverty. Developing a sense of social
responsibility and a civic commitment, youth come to see themselves
as active agents in society.
The most authoritative work to date on the subject, this book
challenges negative stereotypes of contemporary adolescents and
illustrates how youth, when given the opportunity, can use their
talents for social good. It will interest readers concerned with
the development of today's youth and tomorrow's society.
