Routledge - Invisible Children in the Society and Its Schools

Explore the social and school lives of North American youth through this academic study by Routledge. This book uses the metaphors of invisibility and visibility to examine children and young people whose strengths and vulnerabilities often go unnoticed by the broader community and educational systems. Many of these invisible children face significant challenges, including derogatory stereotypes and social devaluation. The text examines how these individuals are often neglected in schools that do not respond adequately to their specific needs. By looking at these students through sociocultural, political, and historical lenses, the book provides a deep look at those whose difficult living conditions are frequently not treated as a priority by society. This work is an essential resource for those studying education and social structures, offering a perspective on how schools and society interact with marginalized youth. It addresses the gap between the complex reality of these children's lives and the limited attention they receive from institutional systems.
