In recent years, civic and political institutions have stepped up
their efforts to encourage youth participation: schools promote
volunteerism, non-profits provide opportunities for service, local
governments create youth councils, and social movement
organizations discuss the need to encourage a new generation of
activists. This volume adopts a critical approach to the civic and
political socialization projects which aim to transform children
and youth into upstanding citizens. By synthesizing the study of
young people's civic and political socialization under the rubric
of "Youth Engagement", the interplay of the civic and the political
throughout young people's lives is considered. Chapters critically
examine the multiple and contested meanings of ideal citizenship
and reveal how children and youth craft active citizenship as they
encounter and respond to the various institutions and organizations
designed to encourage their civic and political development.
