By employing a positive youth development (PYD) approach, this masterful volume unpacks the multiple pathways and resources that Roma young people tap for positive adaptation, resilience, and wellbeing. In opening us to Roma youth's strengths and supports, this book expands our thinking to reconsider what we must be missing when we study so many young people primarily through a deficit lens.
