Rethinking Youth Citizenship After the Age of Entitlement provides
a primer for exploring hard questions about how young people
understand, experience and enact their citizenship in uncertain
times and about their senses of membership and belonging. It
examines how familiar modes of exclusion are compounded by punitive
youth policies in ways that are concealed by neoliberal discourses.
It considers the role of key institutions in constructing young
people's citizenship and looks at the ways in which some young
people are opting out of established enactments of citizenship
while creating new ones. Critically reflecting on recent scholarly
interest in the geographical, relational, affective and temporal
dimensions of young people's experiences of citizenship, it also
reinvigorates the discussion about citizenship rights and
entitlements, and what these might mean for young people. The book
draws on global research and theories of citizenship but has a
particular focus on Australia, which provides a unique example of a
country that has fared well economically yet is mimicking the
austerity measures of the United Kingdom and Europe. It concludes
with an argument for a rethinking of citizenship which recognises
young people's rights as citizens and the ways in which these
interact with their lived experience at a time that has been
characterised as 'the end of the age of entitlement'.
