Reviews
“The work represents a contribution to research on the theme of participation but, above all, it outlines a clear gap between traditional forms of involvement … . this volume has the merit of providing us with a new interpretative paradigm of young people from the South of the world through the formulation of analytical categories that distance themselves from an a-contextual and often stereotyped theoretical analysis of the lives of young people.” (Mauro Giardiello, Youth and Globalization, Vol. 1 (2), 2019)
