Description
Where "Something Catches:" Work, Love, and Identity in Youth is a qualitative study of Latina and Latino youth. Youths from different regions of Puerto Rico and with a range of interests are interviewed about work, love, community, alternatives, and the support that they have been given. Using an innovative framework, a psychology of identity is explored by incorporating an analysis of the cultural, historical, and political context. The text includes documentary photographs.
