This important book tackles head-on one of the major concerns of our day, that too many young people, especially those who don't attend college, are ill informed about and disengaged from politics. Youniss and Levine offer an optimistic and practical way forward - bringing together schools, communities, political parties, and local governments to provide incentives and structured opportunities for young people's political participation and learning. This is just what we need! ANNE COLBY SENIOR SCHOLAR, CARNEGIE FOUNDATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF TEACHING, AND AUTHOR OF EDUCATING FOR DEMOCRACY
