About this book

Instead of asking what’s wrong with young people on social assistance, this book asks, what’s wrong with society’s normative presumptions about "at-risk" youth?
Documents the experience of poverty, unemployment, homelessness, and intervention, and their effects on young people’s lives and social networks.

Reviews

Bernard Schissel, Professor and Program Head, Doctor of Social Sciences Program, Royal Roads University:
This is a significant piece of work on the marginalization of youth ... It is not only a fine example of interview-based qualitative analysis but also an exemplar of communicating research in a clear, defensible -- and socially relevant -- way. This subject is of the utmost importance, especially in a modern context in which the welfare and rights of young people are more and more in question and in which marginalization and privation are becoming greater social stigmas.
