| book description |

This book, now in its second edition, examines youth citizenship and activism in the twenty-first century. When young people are encouraged to enact ‘active citizenship’ through education and popular culture,  and yet also risk arrest when engaged in certain forms of  dissent, how do we account for the contradiction? Kennelly gets to the center of these issues as she explores the challenges of being young and politically engaged. In the new edition, she brings her original rich ethnography of young activists organizing across Canada into conversation with the past decade's burgeoning literature on youth activism and the major youth-led movements that have occurred since the first edition was published, including Black Lives Matter and Student Climate Strikes. The book also features a foreword written by prominent scholar of democratic education Dr. Joel Westheimer, as well as an afterword penned by emerging scholar and young activist Dr. Cihan Erdal.
