Child Activist Literature at the Turn of the 2020s: From Kids You Read About to Kids You Read

This book looks at how today’s child activists are not just followers in their forekids footsteps, but blazers of new pathways. These young activists situtate their work within a dense web of texts—the ones they read, the ones they write, and the ones that they expect adults to deploy about them. This book explores the stories that adults tell about youth activists, the stories that activists use as part of their work, and the texts that they write for other young people. Author Bio
