Book Synopsis

What are the ties that bind the 'good youth citizen' and the youth activist in the twenty-first century?



Trade Review

"This richly theorised, fascinating study of young activists should be read by all social scientists. It reinvigorates debates on social movements and the problem of youth, whilst providing a much-needed antidote to the current pessimism about the possibilities of activism and the political engagement of young people." - Diane Reay, Professor of Education, Cambridge University
