Taylor & Francis Ltd Young People in the Global South
Book SynopsisYoung People in the Global South: Voice, Agency and Citizenship explores the spatial, relational, affective and material dimensions of adolescents' and young people's civic engagement and political participation in lower- and middle-income contexts. This textbook questions how the everyday politics' of exercising voice and agency is experienced at different scales, from the interpersonal to the global.It explores how structural inequalities and marginalisation, as well as social norms and attitudes, shape how voice, agency and participation are expressed by diverse young people in particular contexts with unique histories. Contributing authors focus on the experiences of young people who are marginalised based on age, gender, sexuality, disability, citizenship status and geographical location. Together they show how ageing through adolescence enables or constrains agency and voice. Textbook features include case studies on Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin AmericTrade ReviewThis book is an important contribution to documenting the vital role that young people in all their diversity play in pushing progress towards the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals. They are not passively waiting for change to happen. They innovate, mobilize and advocate for a more equal, just, and sustainable world, but are too often excluded when decisions are made. I hope readers are left with a strong conviction to ensure their meaningful participation and put youth-led action at the forefront.Jayathma Wickramanayake, United Nations Secretary General’s Envoy on YouthThe voice and agency of adolescent girls is often overlooked in work on young people’s civic engagement and politics, where there has traditionally been more attention to young men and boys. This book addresses this gap by focusing explicitly on gender-related constraints and accelerators to young people’s full participation in civic and political life. The book includes a rich range of case studies and pieces by young researchers themselves –from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. We learn of how social norms specifically constrain girls’ mobility, learning – including use of technologies- and how these can be overcome. Importantly, this book presents practical policy and programme solutions to support girls to exert their leadership, voice and agency on issues that matter to them, including to tackle gender-based violence, refugee education rights and more. This book is relevant to policymakers, researchers and development practitioners alike; articulating the power and potential of girls and boys to influence change in their communities and in the world at large. Lauren Rumble, Associate Director for Gender Equality, UNICEFWhile much is said about the importance of assuring that the voices and perspectives of young people are integrated into the work we professionals do on their behalf, the reality is more reflected in lip service than action. This volume by Jones and colleagues digs deeply into what youth engagement means for policies, programs, research and so much more. Here youth are neither tokens nor the subject of our work but are partners every step of the way. It operationalizes the slogan: “Nothing about us without us!”Robert Blum, Professor and Chair of the Department of Population, Family and Reproductive Health, John Hopkins UniversityContext is everything, and yet there are common predicaments, processes and insights that link and illuminate the lives of young people growing up in precarious environments. This important volume helps us work between the particular (in terms of local knowledge, meanings and tactics) and the global (in terms of policies, programmes and strategy). Drawing on interdisciplinary and embedded research, the collection centres the voices and agency of young people; proposing a new agenda for evidence and advocacy that takes seriously the significance of gender, age and participation. Unusually, the book draws on longitudinal insights, showing how change and maturity emerge in dynamic settings. Covering the time period before, during and after the Covid -19 pandemic and drawing case study material from Africa, Asia, MENA and Latin America the volume is up-to-date and conceptually nuanced while attending to the categories and demands of contemporary governance and investment agendas. A must-read for policy makers and practitioners concerned with young people in the global south and a rich resource for students and researchers for years to come.Rachel Thomson, Professor of Childhood & Youth Studies, University of SussexThis book is a superb resource that advances our knowledge of the experience and influence of young people in the global South. Each of the four sections delivers a useful literature-informed overview followed by rich examples of initiatives written by practitioners and, consistent with the book’s theme, by young people themselves.Nicola Ansell, Professor of Human Geography, Brunel UniversityPeople working with and for adolescents realize that young people are talented, powerful, and full of potential. The delightful publication of Young People in the Global South: Voice, Agency and Citizenship is a brilliantly conceptualized work based on strong evidence and extended global experience of working with adolescents. The book echoes the recent and enlarging focus on the need to utilize the adolescents' power of change in civic engagement, especially among less privileged populations. It fits exactly with their slogan “Nothing for us, without us!”Mamdouh Wabha, Head of the Arab Coalition for Adolescent Health and MedicineThis is an outstanding volume. Its novel approach and structure weaves discussion and case-studies together to create a book bursting with engaging ideas about citizenship, activism, agency, politics and participation. The editors' commitment to youth voice is clear through the fantastic chapter contributions from young people themselves. A wonderful text that centres young people's lives and animates debates on civic engagement for academic researchers and practitioners.Professor Sarah Mills, Professor of Human Geography, Loughborough UniversityTable of ContentsSECTION I Research methods to explore young people’s voice, agency and civic engagement; Introduction: Adolescent and young people’s voice, agency and citizenship in the Global South; Section overview: Research methods to explore young people’s voice, agency and civic engagement; Measuring adolescent voice and agency: An overview of quantitative and mixed-methods approaches; Empowerment in the age of Covid-19: A mixed-methods study of voice and decision-making on four continents; Giving voice to children and adolescents in Chile: Lessons from the participatory research Mosaic approach; Youth contribution: Changing perceptions, changing roles exploring self, peer and public perceptions and changing roles and responsibilities of street-connected peer researchers and advocates in Kolkata during the Covid-19 pandemic; Youth contribution: Our child-led research makes child activists’ voices stronger in Brazil; Youth contribution: How we are working to reduce teenage pregnancy in our community in Sierra Leone; SECTION II Listening to young people: Negotiating gendered perspectives on voice and agency; Youth contribution: ‘When a girl says something, I learn from her’; Section overview: Listening to young people: Negotiating gendered perspectives on voice and agency; Exercising agency on the periphery: Brazilian children and young people’s understanding of agency and choice within contexts of inequality; ‘Children have the right to be controlled by their parents’: Children’s voice in rural Sierra Leone; Exploring the lived realities of lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) youth in Bangladesh; Youth contribution: When children and young people participate, it is possible to make a change; Youth contribution: Reflections of a young feminist navigating the promise of sustainable development by world leaders; Youth contribution: Pressure around sex in exchange for necessities is a setback in the fight against HIV among adolescent girls living in fishing communities in Kenya’s Lake Victoria region; SECTION III Understanding young people’s citizenship: Marginalisation, agency and the political Imagination; Youth contribution: ‘Although the camp has changed as compared to the old times, I don’t think it has changed enough’; Section overview: Understanding young people’s citizenship: marginalisation, agency and the political imagination; Street youth as human billboards – a paradox of performed street citizenship: Novel political participation by street youth in Ghana; Informality, gender, and alternative citizenship: The lives and livelihoods of rural migrant youth in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Youth movements and political protest: Opportunities and limitations of Ethiopia’s Qeerroo movement in affecting transformative change; Youth contribution: Negotiating everyday life in a Delhi slum as a Muslim girl; SECTION IV Young people’s voice, agency and participation ‘beyond borders’; Youth contribution: My revolution footprint in Zambia; Section overview: Young people’s voice, agency and participation ‘beyond borders’; Patterning, enablers and barriers to adolescents’ participation in protracted crises: A case study of adolescents’ mobility and safe access to public spaces in the Gaza Strip; Adolescents mobilising in real life and online: The Bangladesh context; Youth contribution: Youth climate leaders: What are the major barriers facing young people in climate action and how can these be overcome?; Youth contribution: ‘Being part of the military wing gives you authority here in the camp’; SECTION V Policies and programming for voice, agency and civic participation; Youth contribution: ‘My mother does not allow me to go out of this camp’: Reflections on experiences as an internally displaced adolescent girl in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia; Section overview: Policies and programming for voice, agency and civic participation; Supporting adolescent voice, agency and civic participation in the context of forced displacement: The role of the Makani/‘My Space’ programme one-stop centres in Jordan; Negotiating meaningful dialogue: Scaffolding safe spaces for street-connected young people’s participation in Kenya; Youth contribution: Youth citizenship and advocacy: Perspectives and challenges facing Peruvian youth leaders; Youth contribution: ‘We give our views but our suggestions are not implemented’: Experiences of school parliaments in Batu, Ethiopia; Youth contribution: The Khuluma Mentor programme: Young people’s experiences of running a digital peer-led psychosocial support intervention in South Africa; Final reflections and next steps for policy, programming and research

Taylor & Francis Ltd Welcome to the Revolution
Book SynopsisWhen the Women's March gathered millions just one day after Trump's inauguration, a new era of progressive action was born. Organizing on the far Right led to Trump's election, bringing authoritarianism and the specter of neo-fascism, and intensifying corporate capitalism's growing crises of inequality and injustices. Yet now we see a new universalizing resistance among progressive and left movements for truth, dignity, and a world based on democracy, equality, and sustainability. Derber ?offers the first comprehensive guide to this new era and an original vision and strategy for movement success. He convincingly shows how only a new ?universalizing? wave, a ?progressive? and revolutionary movement of movements, can counter the world-universalizing economic and cultural forces of intensifying corporate and far-right power.Derber explores the crises and eroding legitimacy of the globalized? capitalist system ?and the right wing movements? that helped create the Trump erTrade Review"This book is joyfully jammed with the wisdom, experience, tools and motivation to overcome the ravages of the corporate state. On page after page, the theme is about building democratic initiatives and institutions for the common good and the good life of justice, peace and freedom. So gripping and personal is "Welcome to the Revolution", you can scarcely put this book down without putting yourself down. Read, digest, reflect and join with others for a functioning democracy." -Ralph Nader, Consumer Advocate and author of Breaking Through Power: It’s Easier Than We Think"Welcome to the Revolution could not have come at a better moment. With the election of Donald Trump, millions of Americans suddenly found themselves attending women’s rallies, supporting sanctuary cities, protesting Islamophobia, confronting their elected officials—even doing civil disobedience or running for local office. But activists, and the movements they are part of, need strategy, they need direction, they need to know not just what they are resisting but what transformations they aim for. Charles Derber’s brilliant and inspiring new book provides the glue that will help us craft a revolutionary movement that can resist, transform and prevail. Read it!" - Medea Benjamin, Co-Founder of Code Pink and Global Exchange"Charlie Derber’s new book calls us all both to work harder on our particular issues and to get out of our silos to make common cause with others to change the system as a whole. This is the right message for theTrump era, and it is presented in powerful, moral, and practical terms. A must read for anyone serious about building a meaningful and positive future!" - Gar Alperovitz, author of What Then Must We Do? Straight Talk about the Next American Revolution, and Co-Chair of The Next System Project"Derber has written the theoretical and practical manifesto for this historical moment, reminding us of the tremendous possibilities at hand. Welcome to the Revolution explains how extractive capitalism has led to expanding systemic social, economic and ecological system disruptions. Yet these same forces have seeded 'universalizing resistance' movements that, if they succeed, will push us back from the brink and toward a next system that is more democratic, equal, peaceful and lives in harmony with the earth’s ecological limits. To find out how you can 'universalize' and make a difference, read this book." - Chuck Collins, Institute for Policy Studies, co-editor of Inequality.org and author of Born on Third BaseTable of ContentsTable of ContentsA PERSONAL PRELUDE: INTRODUCTION: A CALL TO ACTIONPART I UP AGAINST THE WALL: THE UNIVERSALIZING CORPORATE SYSTEM AND THE APOCALPYSEChapter 1 THE SYSTEM AND ITS DISCONTENTS: THE MILITARIZED MATRIX VS USChapter 2 THE PAC-MAN SYSTEM: HOW IT IS UNIVERALIZING AND THREATENING EXTINCTIONPart II UNIVERSALIZING RESISTANCEChapter 3 IRRESISTIBLE RESISTANCE: THE GRASS ROOTS AND THE WAVES OF CHANGEChapter 4 MOVEMENT GPS: TEN RULES OF THE ROAD TO DEMOCRACY AND JUSTICEChapter 5 FIGHT THE POWER, A.K.A THE SYSTEM: CHOOSE DEMOCRACY OVER AUTHORITARIANISMChapter 6 WIN THE MAJORITY: IT’S EASIER THAN YOU THINKChapter 7 Converge!
