First sentence: I open with a research anecdote: while explaining his school's daily operations and the "work" of engaging youth in their education and school life, a public high school principal quietly lamented the fact that his school was acquiring a local reputation as "a dumping ground" for the immigrant and refugee children spilling into the city.
Description: By focusing on the intersection between globalization studies and youth culture, the authors offer a vital contribution to the development of a new, interdisciplinary approach to youth culture studies.
