The introduction of compulsory citizenship education into the
national curriculum has generated a plethora of new interests in
the politics of childhood and youth. Citizenship for Teenagers
explores teenagers' acts of and engagement with citizenship in
their local communities and examines the role of citizenship
education in creating future responsible citizens.
The first half of the book provides the context for teenagers'
experiences of citizenship, discussing issues around the ideas of
childhood and citizenship, as well as the curriculum. The second
half goes on to explore teenagers' experiences of citizenship
education, practising citizenship and exclusion from citizenship.
The book concludes with a call for a new cumulative approach to
citizenship which upgrades the status of teenagers, particularly
within the classroom.
Susie Weller's important book will throw new light on how
teenagers engage with citizenship education and take on civic
responsibility. It is an interesting and useful read for all those
involved with education and youth policy as well as those studying
for a PGCE or researching in citizenship education.
