Becoming Educated: Young People's Narratives Of Disadvantage, Class, Place And Identity (Adolescent Cultures, School, And Society)

Becoming Educated examines the education of young people, especially those from the most 'disadvantaged' contexts. This book shifts the focus to matters such as taking social class into consideration, puncturing notions of poverty and disadvantage, understanding neighborhoods as places of hope and creating spaces within which to listen to young peoples' aspirations.
