Trade Review
"A fruitful, well-defended study of how lifelong disadvantage becomes solidified in the transition from childhood to adulthood.... For researchers and practitioners who are concerned with young peoples' development, especially young people who live on the margins of the society, this book is a valuable reference." - Bernard Schissel, Canadian Journal of Sociology Online"
