Around the world today, young people are being called upon to
develop civic competence and carry the burden of forging a
political future in the midst of impoverishment, exclusion and
inequality. In societies that have experienced civil war, military
occupation, mass immigration of displaced people or social
conflict, the conditions under which young people attempt to build
their citizenship are not well understood. Youth Citizenship and
the Politics of Belonging contributes to the field of youth
citizenship studies by purposively exploring the experiences of
young adults in the context of the formation of nationhood and
global citizenship. It explores, from the perspective of various
countries, the role of social context and schooling in creating
young citizens. This collection offers a unique opportunity to hear
the voices of young people themselves who, as 'learner citizens'
within educational institutions, poor communities and refugee
camps, amongst other settings, expose the tensions between social
inclusion and marginalization. The book considers young people's
contemporary social movements, their activism and their sense of
belonging. It looks at understandings of national, political and
religious identities, youth rights, and various forms of state,
community and sexual violence as well as strategic coping
strategies, their reinterpretations of civic messages, and the ways
in which anger, resistance and disengagement put youth in a
difficult position. This book was originally published as a special
issue of Comparative Education.
