This text is the third and final volume in the three-volume series When Students Protest. Volume 1 (CH, Mar'23, 60-2057) focuses on student protest among secondary-school students, volume 2 (CH, Jul'23, 60-3270) focuses on university student protests in the Global North, and volume 3 is especially important for highlighting the evolution of student protests and activism in the Global South. Some of the events highlighted are familiar, such as the student movements in Brazil or Chile; others, such as the student activism in the Tamil diaspora, might be new to readers. [Each] chapter is full of important narratives, statistics, and conclusions, including some information about how student activism has moved causes in one direction or another. This book, along with the other two volumes in the series, provides important historical context for present-day student activism. Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty; professionals.
