Becoming Activist is a revolutionary study of youth human rights
activism and literacy learning. The book follows five urban youth
organizers from the Drop Knowledge Project in New York City.
Intentionally polyvocal, the voices of the five youth are featured
prominently to highlight the shifting articulation of their
activist identities in relation to social and economic justice.
Becoming Activist explores critical literacy pedagogy beyond the
confines of formal education. While it has been historically
theorized within English classrooms, much existing research points
to the limitations of conducting critical literacy in schools. In
search of a space where critical literacy can be more fully
realized, this book positions urban youth organizing as an
alternative context for powerful community-based learning. A
valuable read for educators, researchers, and young organizers,
Becoming Activist offers insight into conducting literacy work to
promote positive youth and community development. Ultimately, the
idea of "becoming" is key to understanding and supporting youth
activists as they grow to exercise their political power for
positive social change.
