The most momentous youth development that the South has ever seen: the racialization and politicization of high school youth, 1920-1940 -- Behold the land: the southern high school youth movement during and after the Second World War, 1940-1950 -- Why don't you do something about it?: youth activism of the 1950s -- Young people who were not able to accept things as status quo: youth mobilization and direct-action protest during the 1960s -- If you want police, we will have them: the assault on Black students, teachers, and schools, 1969-1975. |
| Summary |
"The story of activist youth in America is usually framed around the Vietnam War, the counterculture, and college campuses, focusing primarily on college students in the 1960s and 1970s. But a remarkably effective tradition of Black high school student activism in the civil rights era has gone understudied. A New Kind of Youth brings high school activism into greater focus, illustrating how Black youth supported liberatory social and political movements and inspired their elders across the South"-- Provided by publisher. |
