Abstract
Youth with limited resources make up a generation of young Americans whose future is closely intertwined with the nation’s future. Quite simply, the U.S. needs them—and they need a society that does not overlook their potential. Youth have demonstrated the capacity to make significant contributions to our economic and social progress. A vaccine for malaria, technological advances in clean energy, or the cure for cancer could emerge from the minds of poverty-stricken youth who currently are unlikely to receive the education they need to make such contributions. InEducating the Other America: Top Experts Tackle Poverty, Literacy and Achievement in Our Schools, edited by Susan Neuman, 30 scholars from across the U.S. and The Netherlands come together to explore how to break the cycle of poverty by improving literacy and education.
