Children, Young People And Social Inclusion

'By bringing together theory and research on the social exclusion of children and the social participation of children, this book makes important conceptual strides towards a vision of citizenship in a participatory democracy for all. It reveals that while there have been advances in enabling children and youth to have a voice in society much needs to be done to improve how we listen to marginalised children in addressing issues of poverty and the uneven distribution of resource and services. In so doing it projects an important agenda for future interdisciplinary research with children; Roger Hart, Director of the Children's Environments Research Group (CERG), The City University of New York
