The book focuses on areas of particular concern to the youth, such as violence, educational opportunities, and a decaying and demoralizing urban environment characterized by trash, pollution, and abandoned houses. McIntyre's work with these teens draws upon participatory action research, which seeks to codevelop programs with study participants rather than for them, and exemplifies the youths' efforts to create programs within their community to address their concerns. Advocating the incorporation of activism within the research experience, McIntyre here showcases the ways in which Participatory Action Research, along with community photography, can present opportunities for collaborative research with urban youth and other disempowered groups that can ultimately assist them in becoming agents of social change in their communities.
