Reviews

'Citizen Youth reveals the interconnection of theoretical insights and the actual experiences of youth in an argument made more relevant and accessible through its emphasis on the beliefs and practices of individual activists.' -Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies


<p> 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
