This book aims to provide new insights into the complexities of theorizing contemporary adolescent literacies. It proposes a theoretical approach to understanding youth cultural production which addresses several lacunae in the field of new literacy research. Through a series of examinations of youth «writing» both inside and outside of school, the book builds an approach to the study of contemporary youth expression that draws on the theoretical and methodological insights of cultural studies. The voices of youth are central, and both the content and form of what they have to say ground the project. Reading Youth Writing is intended for a cross-disciplinary academic audience: it will be of particular interest to scholars and both undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of education, new literacy, cultural studies, communications and media studies, rhetoric and composition studies, sociology, and sociolinguistics. Since the content is based on youth cultural production in a period of economic and cultural globalization, the book has relevance to a broad international audience.

The full purpose of this work is to expose the young minds to different scenarios, open their minds to critical thinking practices, and allow the children to preemptively envision a scenario in order for them to better deal with real-life problem situations. Additionally, the critical thinking process allows for youth to better acclimate to the adult world in which theyre not readily exposed. This allows for greater preparedness to make decisions in a volatile environment, which best simulates the real world. The power of critical thinking is the essence. We need to empower all people to exercise their mind to apply critical thinking behind their decision-making processes. Given the power of choice, one feels liberation of the mind to take charge of oneself.
