The contemporary problems of children and youth in multicultural societies – theory, research, praxis

“[The book] is well embedded in the literature of the subject and its authors demonstrated not only great competence but also sensitivity to the problems of children and young people from culturally diverse backgrounds. It is unique in the way of taking up many important issues for the research - the problems that are being solved. I think the book will be welcomed with great interest […] by teachers, future teachers as well as intercultural education researchers. It should also be provided for educational politicians who design educational changes, who - also in Poland - should take into account changes related to the increasing cultural diversity (…).” From the scientific review by prof. Anna Szafrańska „[The] book edited by Urszula Markowska-Manista, supports a free and open discourse. Activism, research, social creativity and responsibility for the world we share with children, are combined in a unique way. (…) The problems the authors are facing and are describing and explaining as challenges are particular moments in their areas of expertise. This helps professionals in the fields as readers of the book, to grow in their ambitions, their knowledge and their perspectives. This helps scientist too, to understand methodologically different approaches and the link between these approaches, the vulnerability of respective children and childhoods and the questions that arise in society and finally in research that involve projects and the longing for change.” From the scientific review by prof. Claudia Maier-Höfer
