Reviews
Shea and Green have assembled a rigorous and broad compendium of research findings and proposals regarding the political participation of young Americans. A consistent theme throughout the eleven diverse, thoughtful chapters is the importance of taking young people seriously. This book should influence research and political strategy as the Millennial Generation takes its place in the American electorate.
Fountain of Youth is essential reading for those interested in the ways that parties, activists, and scholars view the past, present, and future of youth involvement in politics.
Highly recommended.
In a concise, comprehensive and readable collection, Fountain of Youth serves as an excellent discussion and analysis of the issues surrounding the participation of youth in American politics and the strategies and tactics that can be used to engage young voters. Shea and Green, two accomplished scholars, draw on their research and the scholarship of an impressive group of colleagues to provide us with an important discussion of why engaging this generation matters. It is a must read book for those who want to understand the role of youth in our political system.
