ng lines in contemporary politics, Sarah Pickard has written a timely and engaging book, full of facts and figures and insights into young people’s participation in both mainstream and more challenging political activity. A great read for anyone interested in the past, the present and the future.” —Tim Bale, Professor of Politics, Queen Mary University of London, UK and co-lead ESRC Party Members Project “Politics, Protest and Young People turns a welcome interdisciplinary gaze on youth political participation in Britain—but in so doing offers analytical insights and critical methodologies for interrogating our own contexts, wherever we find ourselves in the world. Sarah Pickard pulls off an impressive feat of explaining in-depth how young people’s political participation is kaleidoscopic: an ever changing interaction between generation, dissent, voting, citizenship education and what she calls “Do-It-Ourselves” politics. She combines theory, data and thoughtful commentary to show how and why young citizens are using and reimagining their political agency. A fabulous contribution to this contemporary phenomenon in youth studies, sociology and political science.” —Sharlene Swartz, University of Cape Town, South Africa, and President of Sociology of Youth Research Committee RC34, International Sociological Association (ISA)
