Despite the widespread promotion of children's voices by activists
and policy makers over the last decade, the potential for young
people's knowledge to impact on adult agendas and policy arenas is
by no means a certainty. This book presents critiques of
participation in settings where young people are the centre of
attention. The complexities and power-dynamics of youth- adult
relationships are observed and analysed in a wide diversity of
study environments, from Hull to Sao Paulo, rural Lesotho to Ghana,
using varied methods and over different time frames, but with a
strong focus throughout on context, practice, impacts and
associated ethical considerations. The central concern of the book
is not whether young people can produce better knowledge than
adults, but rather how to better understand the different
knowledges which emerge from diverse actors within different
generations in order to ensure that the maximum benefits accrue to
children and young people with and for whom the research is
conducted. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Children's Geographies.
