The authors advocate for a redefined approach to critical ethnography in education, emphasizing its relevance in contemporary research.

This book thus explores the complex potential for health and physical education as key sites of learning for marginalized urban youth, examining these disciplines as subjects that are both politically fraught and also spaces of hope.
