Whether in the ghettos of the United States, the barrios of Brazil, or the ethnic neighborhoods of Germany and Lebanon, a growing number of urban youth find themselves marginalized from the social mainstream, facing problems of fragile families, segregation, little or no education, and involvement in illegal activities. Both rich and poor countries are failing to meet the needs of their urban youth owing to weak institutional frameworks coupled with global economic restructuring that undermines traditional ways of earning a living. Youth in Cities compares the circumstances of urban youth cross-nationally, illustrating the formidable challenges faced by young people trying to define their place in a rapidly changing world. Using both comparative evidence and case studies, this volume illustrates the common needs of youth throughout the world and makes a case for the role of youth as creative social assets and positive forces for social change.

'This volume offers important new insights by bringing an international perspective to the topic of adolescence. Indeed, it makes one question how we can meaningfully examine urban youth without such an internationally comparative framework. The book is unusual in that it adopts a positive orientation toward youth - focusing on their strengths, rather than their problems. Another critically important feature is that it bridges the divide between practice and research, which is essential when dealing with the topic of urban youth.' Lonnie R. Sherrod, Fordham University

'Youth in the City is challenging because it requires practitioners to examine how they might cope with youth work in the most extreme of conditions.' Youth & Policy
