Description

When inclusion into the fold of citizenship is conditioned by a social group’s conceit to ritual violence, humiliation, and exploitation, what can anti-citizenship offer us?   The Promise of Youth Anti-citizenship argues that Black youth—and all poor youth of color—have been cast as anti-citizens, disenfranchised from the social, political, and economic mainstream of American life.

Instead of asking youth to conform to a larger societal structure undergirded by racial capitalism and antiblackness, the volume’s contributors propose that the collective practice of anti-citizenship opens up a liberatory space for youth to challenge the social order.   The chapters cover an array of topics, including Black youth in the charter school experiment in post-Katrina New Orleans; racial capitalism, the queering of ethnicity, and the 1980s Salvadoran migration to South Central Los Angeles; and the decolonization of classrooms through Palestinian liberation narratives.

Through a range of methodological approaches and conceptual interventions, this collection illuminates how youth negotiate and exercise anti-citizenship as either resistance or refusal in response to coercive patriotism, cultural imperialism, and predatory capitalism.   Contributors: Karlyn Adams-Wiggins, Portland State U; Ariana Denise Brazier; Julio Cammarota, U of Arizona; Michael Davis, U of Wisconsin–Madison; Damaris C.
