About this ebook
Recently, American youth have demonstrated en masse about a variety of issues ranging from economic injustice and massive inequality to drastic cuts in education and public services. Youth in Revolt chronicles the escalating backlash against dissent and peaceful protest while exposing a lack of governmental concern for society's most vulnerable populations. Henry Giroux carefully documents a wide range of phenomena, from pervasive violent imagery in our popular culture to educational racism, censorship, and the growing economic inequality we face. He challenges the reader to consider the hope for democratic renewal embodied by Occupy Wall Street and other emerging movements. Encouraging a capacity for critical thought, compassion, and informed judgment, Giroux's analysis allows us to rethink the very nature of what democracy means and what it might look like in the United States and beyond.

I don't know why are young people criticized by their elders. For not being able to fit into political views. For generations, young people have always been apathetic and apolitical to be into politics. To me, there's no need to be judged by older folks and politicians alike. I am not a political idealist. I may be apathetic and apolitical to join politics. I am a volunteer and cooperative supporter. There's no such thing as one life style fits all. It depends on all people and their choices what they want to become. Societal expectations are supposed to debate or depend on all people in their lives, not force or pressure them.
