Chapter Five: Education, Protest & the Continuing Extension of Youth Conclusion ReferencesReviewsA much needed critique of neo-liberal use of youth to disguise class and nourish generational gaps. Dynamite in its implications. - Laura Nader, Professor of Anthropology, UC Berkeley Sukarieh and Tannock have written a groundbreaking book that will help to redefine the field of youth studies by providing a much-needed political-economy analysis of youth. Their analysis positions young people-indeed the current concept of youth-within the neoliberal context of social control and exploitation, thereby challenging youth researchers to re-evaluate their excessively positive representations of the youth period. - James Cote, Professor of Sociology, The University of Western Ontario A much needed critique of neo-liberal use of youth to disguise class and nourish generational gaps.

Ultimately, the fetishization of youth is rejected for the argument that social transformation cannot emerge from any single group, abstracted from the broader racialized, gendered, and classed relations of society. - Sara Carpenter, Adult Education Quarterly Author InformationMayssoun Sukarieh is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Cogut Center for the Humanities at Brown University.
