The book foregrounds the voices of young people themselves, offering a much-needed counter-narrative to the all-too-often calcified identity constructs that animate much political discussion today. More than anything, it offers a rich account of the narrative forces that shape how diverse young people are able to realize a sense of belonging in a multicultural society. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e— Amanda Wise, Coeditor of Convivialities: Possibility and Ambivalence in Urban Multicultures\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\"Laura Moran's work is innovative, well researched and engaging.
