"Everyday Futures challenges our expectations and limitations of our understanding of key concepts in the social sciences, including the meaning of youth (and childhood), Indigeneity, agency, and migrant adaptation. This is a book that calls on us to recognize how Indigenous immigrant youth engage life with dignity and how they emerge as active future-makers." - Patricia Baquedano-López, University of California, Berkeley and coauthor of On Becoming Bilingual: Children's Experiences Across Homes, Schools, and Communities"This is a very important book, filled with innovative insights and cutting-edge analysis.
