Details the possibilities and challenges of intergenerational
activism and social movements Since 1976, the Peruvian movement of
working children has fought to redefine age-based roles in society,
including defending children’s right to work. In The Kids Are in
Charge, Jessica K. Taft gives us an inside look at this
groundbreaking, intergenerational social movement, showing that
kids can—and should be—respected as equal partners in economic,
social, and political life. Through participant observation, Taft
explores how the movement has redefined relationships between kids
and adults; how they put these ideas into practice within their
organizations; and how they advocate for them in larger society.
Ultimately, she encourages us to question the widely accepted
beliefs that children should not work or participate in politics.
The Kids Are in Charge is a provocative invitation to re-imagine
childhood, power, and politics.
