Years of political violence and protests against injustice have
revived interest in teaching civics in schools. The problem? Civic
education—as it currently exists—privileges systems, not
students. It promotes incremental change within a broken democracy
rather than responding to the youth-led movements that call for the
abolition of inequitable social structures. What will it take to
prepare young people for the just future they are fighting for?
Civics for the World to Come offers educators a framework for
designing the critical civic education that our students deserve.
Synthesising perspectives on democratic life from critical race
theory, ethnic studies, Afrofuturism, and critical literacy, the
book presents key practices for cultivating youth civic agency
grounded in equity and justice. The authors explore five
world-building civic skills (Inquiry, Storytelling, Imagination,
Networking and Advocacy) and introduce readers to real learning
communities where students and educators are transforming
themselves and society.
