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 student protest 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
government, 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: Secondary and High Schools is the first of a
three-volume study. The authors document and analyse how
generations of secondary and high school students in many countries
have been thoughtful, committed and effective political actors and
especially so over the past decade. This book also reveals moves by
power holders to stigmatise, repress and even criminalise student
political campaigns. While these efforts were sometimes successful,
this volume shows that whether responding to problems within
schools, or engaging the major public issues of the day, school
activists have renewed and revived the political culture of their
society, while also challenging long-held age-based prejudices.
