Composing Lives in Transition: A Narrative Inquiry into the Experiences of Early School Leavers - Softcover
Composing Lives in Transition: A Narrative Inquiry into the Experiences of Early School Leavers is structured around ten narrative accounts, each one offering glimpses into the lives of early school leavers from different backgrounds. Framed by the puzzling question of why someone would want to leave school early, the authors worked alongside youths from culturally and socially diverse backgrounds in order to understand their experiences and motivations in more depth. In doing so, however, the research team learned that the stories are also as much about how early school leaving shaped their lives after they left education. By looking across the accounts provided in the book, paying particular attention to place, temporality and personal and social dimensions, the authors were able to identify resonant threads that enabled them to reframe a narrative reconceptualization of the phenomenon of early school leaving.

Review:
Pam Steeves - University of Alberta, Canada
Vera Caine - University of Alberta, Canada
Teachers and education scholars in Canada describe the life stories of 11 people in the western province of Alberta who left school before acquiring a high school completion certificate, emphasizing the part that both school and leaving school has played in their lives. They also use objective external criteria to measure the impact of leaving school. Besides the narrative accounts, chapters review the literature; explain the methodology; and discuss transitions within lives, stories to live by, and reflecting backward and forward.
