Through a meshing of public and private worlds, from writing Fanfiction to the improvisation of everyday life events, the work presented in this volume displays a range, and seemingly indefatigable examples of engaging youth in meaningful dis-course about the world around them. The performances use the lan-guages of joy, anger, frustration, vulnerability, and hope to confront stereotypes about people marginalized in American society. (Yolanda Sealey- Ruiz - Teachers College, Columbia University) In Arts, Media, and Justice: Multimodal Explorations with Youth, Vasudevan, DeJaynes, and their contributors in effect take as their project to teach us to see more clearly, making visible youthful populations that customarily reside for most people either in the institutional shadows of group homes, the court system, and detention centers, or in the stark light shone by media to feed a societal fascination with youthful deviance.
