Invisible Children in the Society and Its Schools offers a series of reports by some of the most passionate and insightful scholars writing in the field of education today on groups of children and young people largely unseen or unheard in the society and its schools: homeless children and their families; white working-class girls subjected to domestic violence; children and young people orphaned and otherwise affected by AIDS; immigrant children; urban Appalachian children; adjudicated girls; teenage mothers; and gay and lesbian youth. By sharing the voices of the young, providing basic information about particular groups of children and young people, and offering thoughtful analysis of their social situation, this text combines education and advocacy in an accessible volume responsive to the life-and-death issues of our time.
