HANGING IN WITH KIDS IN TOUGH TIMES - JOHN SMYT...

This book brings a unique  innovative and refreshing perspective to one of the most protracted
issues affecting young lives - disengagement from schooling. Rather than continuing to blame
young people  as most educational policies do  this book examines disengagement from the
vantage point of the lives  experiences  interests and aspirations of the communities from
which young people come  and within which they are embedded. It uses a narrative and
representational approach that gives detailed insights into the wider context of poverty  class
power  relationships and identity. A major and defining hallmark of the book is the emphasis it
places upon a number of 'doings'  - including community voice  identity formation  critical
work education and education policy - all of which provide a very different set of scripts with
which to reinvent the institution of high school.
