Reviews

...insightful and extremely useful for those considering undertaking a Photovoice project Professor Wendy Fitzgibbon, The Howard League for Penal Reform


Through the course of the book, Delgado provides valuable insights into important practical and philosophical concerns that need to be addressed in undertaking photovoice projects. He effectively sifts through the literature on positive youth development, and he explains the tension between positive youth development on the one hand and youth-led projects and community development on the other. While not ignoring the individual capacities that are emphasized within the positive youth development literature, Delgado forcefully argues that photovoice is fundamentally powered through a youth-led approach and a focus on the oppressive forces that impinge upon urban youth. --PsycCRITIQUES
