Through the lives of Diane Nash, Stokely Carmichael, Bob Moses, Bob Zellner, Julian Bond, Marion Barry, John Lewis, and their contemporaries, The Shadows of Youth provides a carefully woven group biography of the activists who—under the banner of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee—challenged the way Americans think about civil rights, politics, and moral obligation in an unjust democracy. A wealth of original sources and oral interviews allows the historian Andrew B. Lewis to recover the sweeping narrative of the civil rights movement, from its origins in the youth culture of the 1950s to the near present. The teenagers who spontaneously launched sit-ins across the South in the summer of 1960 became the SNCC activists and veterans without whom the civil rights movement could not have succeeded. The Shadows of Youth replaces a story centered on the achievements of Martin Luther King Jr. with one that unearths the cultural currents that turned a disparate group of young adults into, in Nash's term, skilled freedom fighters. Their dedication to radical democratic possibility was transformative. In the trajectory of their lives, from teenager to adult, is visible the entire arc of the most decisive era of the American civil rights movement, and The Shadows of Youth for the first time establishes the centrality of their achievement in the movement's accomplishments.

God loves you. You know this or have at least heard this. Satan hates you. Did you know that? Perhaps you know this already, from living in this world, even if you have not heard it preached to you. Satan hates you and, with all the demons, is dedicating his existence to bringing your life into ruin. Sorry, but it's true, and you need to know.When I was young, I remember asking a religion teacher about the devil. The answer made me think no one was able to help me with this question or any other religious question. During those classes, and every other time someone spoke to me about God, they never mentioned that I was in a battle against Satan and countless demons. Since it's true that I am, it would have seemed like a good idea to tell me - but they did not. All the while, I slowly slipped away from having any interest in God. Instead, I was slowly slipping into a major depression and crippling anxiety disorder, which took me out of college and almost out of this world.I wasn't born with a sword in my hand, but I wish I had been. It would have spared me a lot of pain. Not only would I have known that I was being attacked and provoked by Satan to reject God and embrace a life of sin, but I would have also known that the Church has a storehouse of spiritual weapons and is eagerly trying to get them into my hands. Unarmed, I turned away from God and embraced a worldly and miserable life.But God broke in to my miserable life and began to cut down the demons and shadows that had oppressed me since I was first bullied at the age of five. That dramatic conversion started me down a path of training for spiritual warfare, one which is still unfolding.As a high school Theology teacher, I have desired to give the real Truth to my students. I pray this book accomplishes the same. Let your eyes be opened. See the truth of your life and let Christ set you free from the dragon and his shadows.

Campaigns against prostitution of young people in the United States have surged and ebbed multiple times over the last fifty years. Fighting the US Youth Sex Trade: Gender, Race, and Politics examines how politically and ideologically diverse activists joined together to change perceptions and public policies on youth involvement in the sex trade over time, reframing 'juvenile prostitution' of the 1970s as 'commercial sexual exploitation of children' in the 1990s, and then as 'domestic minor sex trafficking' in the 2000s. Based on organizational archives and interviews with activists, Baker shows that these campaigns were fundamentally shaped by the politics of gender, race and class, and global anti-trafficking campaigns. The author argues that the very frames that have made these movements so successful in achieving new laws and programs for youth have limited their ability to achieve systematic reforms that could decrease youth vulnerability to involvement in the sex trade.

This book discusses LGBTI+ childhood from a critical, interdisciplinary perspective with the aim of contributing to a better understanding of the complex relationship between sexuality, gender and childhood. Placing adultcentrism at the centre of the analytical inquiry, the international range of contributors consider experiences and subjectivities of children, their families and significant contexts. Topics covered include public policies, professional practices and care provision, as well as the tensions and contradictions stemming from the logics of otherness and exceptionality which populate dominant discourses, representations and practices around sex and gender in childhood. This book is intended for researchers and students in gender studies, sexuality studies, education, health, childhood studies and sociology.
