We Fight to Win - Inequality and the Politics of Youth Activism

Klappentext We Fight to Win offers a compelling account of young people's attempts to get involved in community politics, and documents the battles waged to form youth movements and create social change in schools and neighborhoods. Focusing on adolescence and political action, Gordon compares the struggles and successes of two movements: a mostly white, middle-class youth activist network in Portland, Oregon, and a working-class network of minority youth in Oakland, California.
