Children and Youth Speak for Themselves

The theme of this volume is an outgrowth of one of the section-sponsored sessions at the 2006 ASA meetings in Montreal, "Children and Youth Speak for Themselves." The volume is a collection of articles from scholars who pay particular attention to childrens' and/or adolescents' voices, interpretations, perspectives, and experiences within specific social and cultural contexts. Contributors include research stemming from a broad spectrum of methodological and theoretical orientations. This is a cutting-edge compilation of the most current child-centered scholarship on the sociology of children and childhood.
