This innovative comparative study provides nuanced accounts of the personal experiences of young people who care deeply about their communities and are actively engaged in a variety of public issues

Trade Review
"Investigating the experience of young activists, their motivations, and the forms of their engagement, this innovative book presents a refreshingly optimistic picture of dedicated and engaged young people."--Anne B. Smith, coeditor of Advocating for Children: International Perspectives on Children's Rights

"A much needed and timely contribution that celebrates the commonalities among youth leaders on a hemispheric scale. The book offers a unified voice that rejects the fragmentation of difference, and with thought-provoking youth interviews, convincingly articulates today's concept of youth leadership. These authors help their readers, whether scholars, educators or activists, effectively situate and challenge their own ideas of youth leaders."--Latino Studies
