Full Description
Based on an original longitudinal study, this book offers an alternative angle of vision—animated by young people's own photographs, videos and perspectives. It shows how a diverse community of young people in Worcester, MA used cameras at different ages (10, 12, 16, 18) to capture the centrality of care in their lives, homes and classrooms.
