Roma Minority Youth Across Cultural Contexts: Taking a Positive Approach to Research, Policy, and Practice: Child Development in Cultural Context

Editat de Radosveta Dimitrova, David Lackland Sam, Laura Ferrer Wreder
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 noi 2021
This book explores Positive Youth Development (PYD) in Roma ethnic minority youth. Standing apart from current volumes, this book focuses on the Roma ethnic minority -- one of the most marginalized and oppressed minority groups in Europe -- and on strengths and resources for optimal well-being in the community. The international and multidisciplinary contributors to this book address the complexities of Roma life in a variety of cultural settings, exploring how key developmental processes and person-context interactions can contribute to optimal and successful adaptation. The conclusions clarify how the PYD of ethnic minority children and youth may be fostered based on the empirical findings reported in the volume. The book draws on core theoretical models of PYD and theories of normative development from the perspective of developmental science to highlight the applicability of these frameworks to Roma groups. With a special focus on cultural, contextual, and socio-economic characteristics of Roma, this project also aims to provide a better understanding of what does and what does not contribute to the success of youth in oppressed minority groups.

Recenzii

an excellent blend of conceptual, methodological and empirical chapters
This timely volume takes a strengths-based approach to understanding Roma minority youth, who historically have been one of the most marginalized and oppressed groups in Europe. The international and multidisciplinary perspectives make the book essential reading for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to support positive development of Roma youth across a variety of cultural contexts.
By employing a positive youth development (PYD) approach, this masterful volume unpacks the multiple pathways and resources that Roma young people tap for positive adaptation, resilience, and wellbeing. In opening us to Roma youth's strengths and supports, this book expands our thinking to reconsider what we must be missing when we study so many young people primarily through a deficit lens.
