".A wide-ranging review.clearly written and largely succesful in simplifying what are often far from simple arguments." Youth and Policy
"Engaging with a strong challenging text shakes up complacency and encourages the clarification of ideas. This book will facilitate such an exercise and for this reason alone should be considered essential reading for students of sociology, education, psychology and cultural studies. ... The compilation of so many research studies concerning young people, drawn from such different academic perspectives, means that the book also provides an invaluable resource for cross-disciplinary exploration of the many issues that impinge on both gender and education." Gender and Education
"It provides a review of most of the major research efforts in [Britain and America] in the last decade. More importantly it places that effort in both a political and a theoretical context. In doing so it challenges the assumptions underlying both mainstream and radical discourses." Gary Easthorpe, University of Tasmania
"Her presentation of youth research as discourses with ideological implications is thoughtful and scholarly written. ... An important book...." Educational Review
