| Publisher Description: What are the ties that bind the "good youth citizen" and the youth activist in the twenty-first century? Contemporary young people are encouraged - through education and other cultural sites - to "save the world" via community projects that resemble activism, yet increasingly risk arrest for public acts of dissent. Citizen Youth goes to the heart of these contradictions, exploring the dilemmas and cultural dynamics of being young and politically engaged. |
