Recenzje

Magnuson, Jansson, and Benoit present a compelling longitudinal analysis of the ways in which street entrenched young people navigate, negotiate, and survive within a backdrop of social and economic inequities. The work is an important commentary on modern day emerging adulthood and notions of identity, agency, stability, relationships, hope, resilience, and independence.
