Review Quotes: "This volume offers important new insights by bringing an international perspective to the topic of adolescence... The book is unusual in that it adopts a positive orientation toward youth--focusing on their strengths, rather than their problems... it bridges the divide between practice and research, which is essential when dealing with the topic of urban youth." Lonnie R. Sherrod, Fordham University
