Abstract
How does growing up in a township affect your moral formation? Does it impact negatively or positively? Are township youth more or less moral than their middle-class counterparts? These were the key questions that led Sharlene Swartz to conduct her doctoral research on the moral lives of South Africa's township youth.-
