What are the ties that bind the 'good youth citizen' and the youth
activist in the twenty-first century? Contemporary young people are
encouraged - through education and other cultural sites - to 'save
the world' via community projects that resemble activism, yet
increasingly risk arrest for public acts of dissent. Citizen Youth
goes to the heart of these contradictions, exploring the dilemmas
and cultural dynamics of being young and politically engaged.
Through an ethnographic study of young people working on activist
causes across the three largest urban centres in one of the
wealthiest nations in the world (Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver,
Canada), this book draws on Bourdieusian cultural sociology,
feminist theories of agency, phenomenology, and political theories
of the state and neoliberalism to understand what it means to be a
certain kind of youth citizen in the twenty-first century.
Accessibly written yet theoretically engaged, the book will be of
interest to individuals both within academia and in the wider world
of social movements and youth engagement.
