Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the significant yet overlooked contributions of young writers to life writing genres, this book explores how their narratives in memoirs, letters, and diaries have often been marginalized or politicized. It highlights youth agency and cultural participation through self-representation in both private and public spheres, challenging dominant discourses on youth in media, health, and legal contexts. The authors situate their research within broader theoretical frameworks, including childhood studies and ethical scholarship, to emphasize the importance of youth voices in shaping their identities.
