Summary/Abstract: The just released collective volume is part of the series “Studien zur Sozialpädagogik” (Studies in Social Pedagogy), edited by the Institute for Educational Studies at the Alpen-Adria University Klagenfurt in Austria. The voluminous book combines sociological, social pedagogical and social psychological approaches and provides a comprehensive presentation of young people and their lives with a strong focus on living conditions and social inequality as well as on social work. The specific topics that are addressed do not simply report the authors’ empirical research but provide an analysis of key concepts and approaches that inform youth research. The book’s contributors are well-placed theoreticians and researchers in this field and represent different disciplines.
