"In Revolutionizing Education: Youth Participatory Action Research in Motion, editors Julio Cammarota and Michelle Fine offer a compelling and complex vision of urban youth engaged in social justice research and action. In chapters that interweave theory, research, description, images, case study, narrative and reflection, readers are invited into the world of participatory action research (PAR), and specifically youth PAR (YPAR)." -- Paula Echeverri and Kathy Hytten, Educational Researcher, Vol. 37, No. 8, November 2008
