The result of an impressive and accessible scholarship, A Place To Call Home: After-School Program For Urban Youth by Barton J. Hirsch (Professor of Human Development and Social Policy, Northwestern University) is the result of research conducted by the author over a four-year period at six Boys & Girls Clubs located in low-income, predominately minority, urban neighborhoods. This study documents the crucial support that after-school programs provide urban youth with case illustrations, insightful analysis, and verbatim field notes. Enhanced with an extensive bibliography and an index, A Place To Call Home is strongly recommended reading for students of Urban Studies, Child Psychology, Education and School-Age Child Care issues.
