"Nationalism and Youth in Theatre and Performance is a must have for all those interested in working with young people. The text is easily accessible. It is a nice blend of theory, practice and anecdote. The writing style is poetic in its academic voice. The authors’ styles are inviting and their use of jargon unobtrusive and needed. As the field of applied theatre emerges as a major player across disciplines, editors Victoria Pettersen Lantz and Angela Sweigart-Gallagher have brought together a ground breaking look into the performative lives of youth engaged in social action." – Gustave J. Weltsek, Indiana University, USA
