This book examines the ways young people engage in action dialogue and activism and how they
become global citizens. The essays in the book illustrate how young people with deep
convictions on how to change the world make a difference in their communities. The community
becomes the classroom and their activism the true lesson. Possible utopias are realized with
every effort to engage in activism to be an advocate for both oneself and others and with
each critical engagement with oppression. These young activists are the unsung heroes and
theirs are the victories in current educational debates. Moving away from theoretical debates
on multicultural and progressive education this book illustrates how youth action curriculum
strategies and creative writing service learning projects advocacy work at community-based
and grassroots organizations and global initiatives can result in real-life victories.
