Review:

"Young's description of the way in which good youth work can instil the key features of critical thinking that underpin educational attainment and the sense of citizenship is about as good as it gets... an eloquent, poetic and philosophical reassertion of the unique contribution of the youth work purpose." Rapport, on the first edition."
