      abstract = {This book presents an interplay of imaginative  memoir-telling, action research data and future projection  that reminds and inspires experiences academics,  researchers, professionals, as well as a wider public to  recognize the fundamental importance and the impellent need  for more and better work in favour of true political and  societal recognition of the needs and rights of children to  play freely, to participate, to live fully and enjoy their  neighbourhoods and cities, and to imagine and construct  alternative futures, together with adults. The book's  abundant spoken dialogue is, in effect, storytelling  between children (and youth) on their own and with adults  (especially the elderly). It conveys an appreciation of  childrens special capacities to think critically about  their everyday placesand the greater world around themand  to develop solutions (or projects) for the problems they  identify. This book serves an effective catalyst for  stimulating rich discussion of the theoretical and  practical bases of the many themes, or areas of study,  which are treated in the story.},
