Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
This bookoffers a groundbreaking examination of citizenship education programs that serve contemporary youth in schools and communities across the United States. These programs include social studies classes and curricula, school governance, and community-based education efforts. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach to exploring the experiences and perspectives of educators and youth involved in these civic education efforts. The contributors offer rich analyses of how mainstream and alternative programs are envisioned and enacted, and the most important factors that shape them. A variety of theoretical lenses and qualitative methodologies are used, including ethnography, focus group interviews, and content analyses of textbooks.

It is particularly helpful in the range of settings included--from government and other social studies courses, to varied special projects and out-of-school programs. It is also insightful in looking at the topic from various perspectives--teachers, diverse young people, and curriculum materials." -- Carole Hahn, author of Becoming Political: Comparative Perspectives on Citizenship Education
