This edited collection critically engages with a range of
contemporary issues in the aftermath of the North Atlantic
financial crisis that began in 2007. From challenging the erosion
of academic authority to the myth that parliamentary democracy is
not worth engaging with, it addresses three interrelated questions
facing young people today: how to reclaim our universities, how to
revitalise our democracy and how to recast politics in the 21st
century. This book emphasises the crucial importance of
generational experience as a wellspring for progressive social
change. For it is the young generations who have come of age in a
world marred by crises that are at the forefront of challenging the
status quo. With insight into new social movements and protests in
the UK, Canada, Greece and Ukraine, this stimulating collection of
works will be invaluable for those teaching, studying and
campaigning for alternatives. It will also be of relevance to
scholars in social movement studies, the sociology and anthropology
of economic life, the sociology of education, social and political
theory, and political sociology.
