In the area of the new services we want to give in this second year of the Portal, we are introducing –in this section- a space of “bibligraphic reviews on youth”, including small comments on the most recent books of more recent appearance (and that in general are not available in electronic format) together with the corresponding data to obtain them (editor, etc). It is not about –therefore- of a literary or academic “critique”; it is hardly another work tool, more limited, that can be helpful for those who work –from different angles- in public policies of youth.

This way, we are resuming and effort that throughout several years (between 1999 and 2004) maintaine from the CELAJU web (  http://www.celaju.org/noticias/publicaciones.htm) and that in its time it generated many comments and recognitions, for the utility of the service. Given that this task was discontinued during last year, we are resuming it here with the idea of including also –in retrospective terms- those texts edited in 2005 and that had significantly contributed to the generation of knowledge on young people and public policies of youth in Latin America.

In practical terms, next, we offer the list of the included texts, with the corresponding link in each case to have access to the corresponding review. This list –naturally- will go extending daily, with the inclusion of new titles and reviews, and as usual, we hope to count on your comments and contributions, to expand and improve this new service of the Portal of Youth.
