Student political action has been a major and recurring feature of
politics across the globe through 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 student
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. Much of mainstream scholarly
work has also deemed student politics as undeserving 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: Universities in the Global
South is the second in a three-volume study that explores
university student politics in the global south. The authors
document and analyse how generations of university and college
students in the Global South responded to issues such as problems
in their own universities as well as standing up against violent
military dictatorships, human rights abuses, oppressive poverty,
foreign interference and the effects of neoliberal austerity
regimes. Contributors to this this volume also reveal repeated
moves by states and institutions to stigmatise and suppress student
political action while highlighting how those students developed
new kinds of political action further demonstrating why this rich
and complex global phenomena is worthy of more attention.
