Educating Entrepreneurial Citizens

This book is an original and timely contribution to the field as it examines the contemporary tensions between the economic and social purposes of educating citizens through a case of entrepreneurship education for youth who live in contexts of poverty and high unemployment. Using a vertical case study of an international donor, the analyses illustrate in rich detail how NGOs, local educators, community members, and youth are constructing and enacting the entrepreneurial citizen. It is an important read for postgraduate students and scholars engaged in research concerning childhood studies, international and comparative education, and development studies.
