The authors of this volume address multiple questions involving the nature of youth protest in the twenty-first century. Through their use of a case study approach, they comment upon the ways in which youth protest has been influenced by the electronic and social media and evaluate the effectiveness of protest activities, many of which were framed in reaction to neo-liberalism and state authoritarianism. A number of the authors further comment upon the utility of employing social movement theory to analyze the nature and character of protest actions, while others situate such events within specific political, social and cultural contexts. The case studies focus upon protest activities in Bahrain, Turkey, Iran, Cambodia, South Africa, China, Russia, Chile, Spain, and the U.S., and together, they offer a comparative analysis of an important global phenomenon. In so doing, the authors further address issues involving the changing nature of globalized protest participation, its immediate and long-term consequences, and the ways in which protests have encouraged a re-evaluation of the nature of inequality, as constructed within educational, social, and political spheres.

Rolf S

Recognized in 2016 Competition for Globalization and Education Book Award

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 26, 2016

This year, I chaired the selection committee for the Comparative and International Education Society's Globalization and Education Book Award. Despite having to choose between 17 excellent and competitive nominees, we chose this book for particular recognition.

This timely book thoughtfully and effectively engages with multiple literatures in a way that makes a unique and needed contribution to the current conversations about youth, social movements and new media. We were particularly impressed with how Irving as editor framed the relation of this volume to the current literatures on globalization and neoliberalism in the introduction and conclusion.

This is an insightful and compelling read for anyone interested in the social movements of the last several years. We hope that this book competition helps expose it to a larger audience which it very much deserves.
