From the March for Our Lives and Black Lives Matter, to Gay Straight Alliances and the Dreamer and Sunrise movements, the prominence of young people as agents of change are unmistakable in contemporary political life. Yet as Gash and Tichenor show, these movements reflect a long history of youth political mobilization and leadership, including Progressive Era labor organizing and 1960s civil rights and anti-war activism. Children also are crucial subjects of government and adult control, inspiring contention in nearly every realm of public policy, such as education, social welfare, abortion, gun control, immigration, civil rights and liberties, and criminal justice. And young people are regularly leveraged in political life as influential symbols of innocence and deviance, or treated as political collateral (as the spectacle of "kids in cages" under the Trump administration's "family separation" policy vividly captures). In a narrative that ranges from history and law to young adult literature, Democracy's Child reveals why the control, leveraging, and agency of young people shapes and defines our political landscape. Along the way, readers learn about age or childhood as a concrete difference that combines with gender, race, class, immigration status, or sexual orientation to produce powerful systems of privilege or disadvantage"-- $c Provided by publisher 650 0 $a Children and politics. 650 0 $a Youth $x Political activity $z United States. 650 0 $a Youth $z United States $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Child welfare $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government. 650 7 $a Child welfare. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00854709 650 7 $a Children and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00855230 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Youth $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01183486 650 7 $a Youth $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01183536 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Tichenor, Daniel J., $d 1966- $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Gash, Alison L. $t Democracy's child. $d New York : Oxford University Press, [2022] $z 9780197581674 $w (DLC) 2022018808 941 $a 1 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214043345.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=96E42E9A9A4F11EE9D2109AF26ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IOWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
