In an adult-dominated society, teenagers are often shut out of
participation in politics. ""We Fight to Win"" offers a compelling
account of young people's attempts to get involved in community
politics, and documents the battles waged to form youth movements
and create social change in schools and neighborhoods. Hava Rachel
Gordon compares the struggles and successes of two very different
youth movements: a mostly white, middle-class youth activist
network in Portland, Oregon, and a working-class network of
minority youth in Oakland, California. She examines how these young
activists navigate schools, families, community organizations, and
the mainstream media, and employ a variety of strategies to make
their voices heard on some of today's most pressing issues - war,
school funding, the environmental crisis, the prison industrial
complex, standardized testing, corporate accountability, and
educational reform. ""We Fight to Win"" is one of the first books
to focus on adolescence and political action and deftly explore the
ways that the politics of youth activism are structured by age
inequality as well as race, class, and gender.
