Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than half of the global and around eighty per cent of the western population grow up in cities. Here, Horschelmann and van Blerk provide a vivid picture of children and youths in the city, how they make sense of it and how they appropriate it through their social actions. Considering the causes and forms of social inequalities in relation to class, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, ability and geographical location, this book discusses specific issues such as poverty, homelessness and work. Each chapter draws on examples and cases from both the developed and developing world, and throughout the chapters, it: contrasts experiences of growing up in the city focuses on urban youth culture, consumption and globalization considers contemporary movements towards the role of children and youths in planning processes. Horschelmann and van Blerk argue that youths must be recognised as urban social agents in their own right. Their informative book, though dealing with complex theoretical arguments, relates key ideas to this topical subject in a clear and coherent manner, making this book an excellent resource for students of human geography, urban studies and childhood studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1909, when this book was first published, Jane Addams was the most famous woman in America. A celebrity and a spiritual leader, Addams was widely regarded as practical, realistic, and endowed with a special insight into the problems of urban America.The Spirit of Youth and the City Streets -- her favorite of her own books -- establishes Addams as an accomplished writer as well as a reformer. In this compact volume she examines the causes for the discontent of youth in the city, chiding educators for their "persistent blindness to youth's most obvious needs".Addams argues for the importance of providing direction and focus -- for example, through public recreation, practical education, and experiences in the arts -- for the pent-up energies of young men and women. She takes a realistic view of their basic social and sexual drives and their disaffection and alienation in an industrial world. At the same time, she rejects the hereditary explanations for delinquency that prevailed in her day.The Spirit of Youth and the City Streets is suffused with Addams's abiding compassion and tempered with her pragmatism and humor. Allen F. Davis's introduction provides a biographical profile of Addams and a commentary on her importance as a writer and a social activist.

Book excerpt: Street outreach workers comb public places such as parks, vacant lots, and abandoned waterfronts to search for young people who are living out in public spaces, if not always in the public eye. Street Kids opens a window to the largely hidden world of street youth, drawing on their detailed and compelling narratives to give new insight into the experiences of youth homelessness and youth outreach. Kristina Gibson argues that the enforcement of quality of life ordinances in New York City has spurred hyper-mobility amongst the city’s street youth population and has serious implications for social work with homeless youth. Youth in motion have become socially invisible and marginalized from public spaces where social workers traditionally contact them, jeopardizing their access to the already limited opportunities to escape street life. The culmination of a multi-year ethnographic investigation into the lives of street outreach workers and ‘their kids’ on the streets of New York City, Street Kids illustrates the critical role that public space regulations and policing play in shaping the experience of youth homelessness and the effectiveness of street outreach.

Book excerpt: The YOUTH EDITION of CHILDREN of the CITY has been created for teenage readers, but still addresses tragic issues in our world today and serves as a learning tool. ”””””””””> THE STORY. No one was looking for them. They were invisible. When local reporter, Kayla Barrington, crossed paths with an orphan boy on the streets of Denver, Colorado, she didn't know the world of human trafficking hid in her city. Under the facade, a highly networked trafficking ring was thriving at the exploitation of children all over Denver. Darkness couldn't stay quiet forever, and when Kayla was tipped off, a desperate search began. What started with one boy, led to a destiny of rescue and redemption. No one else knew these children were there. And she couldn't walk away.
