Youth resistance has become a pressing global phenomenon, to which
many educators and researchers have looked for inspiration and/or
with chagrin. Although the topic of much discussion and debate, it
remains dramatically under-theorized, particularly in terms of
theories of change. Resistance has been a prominent concern of
educational research for several decades, yet understandings of
youth resistance frequently lack complexity, often seize upon
convenient examples to confirm entrenched ideas about social
change, and overly regulate what "counts" as progress. As this
comprehensive volume illustrates, understanding and researching
youth resistance requires much more than a one-dimensional theory.
Youth Resistance Research and Theories of Change provides readers
with new ways to see and engage youth resistance to educational
injustices. This volume features interviews with prominent
theorists, including Signithia Fordham, James C. Scott, Michelle
Fine, Robin D.G. Kelley, Gerald Vizenor, and Pedro Noguera,
reflecting on their own work in light of contemporary uprisings,
neoliberal crises, and the impact of new technologies globally.
Chapters presenting new studies in youth resistance exemplify
approaches which move beyond calcified theories of resistance.
Essays on needed interventions to youth resistance research provide
guidance for further study. As a whole, this rich volume challenges
current thinking on resistance, and extends new trajectories for
research, collaboration, and justice.
