Student political action has been a major and recurring feature of
politics across the globe throughout the past century. Students
have been involved in a full range of public issues, from
anti-colonial movements, anti-war campaigns, civil rights and
pro-democracy movements to campaigns against neoliberal policies,
austerity, racism, misogyny and calls for climate change action.
Yet their actions are frequently dismissed by political elites and
others as 'adolescent mischief' or manipulation of young people by
duplicitous adults. This occurs even as many working in
governments, traditional media and educational organisations
attempt to suppress student movements. Moreover, much of mainstream
scholarly work has deemed student politics as unworthy of
intellectual attention. These three edited volumes of books help
set the record straight. Written by scholars and activists from
around the world, When Students Protest: Universitiesin the Global
North is the third in this three-volume study that explores
university student politics in the global north. Authors explore
university and college student political action, especially over
the past decade. It is just over fifty years since May 1968 when
student protests erupted at Universite Paris Nanterre in France and
then spread across the globe. Contributors to this book demonstrate
that despite repeated attempts by states, power elites and
institutions to suppress and even criminalise student political
action, student movements have always been part of the political
landscape and remain a significant and potent source of political
change and renewal.
