Civics for the World to Come: Committing to Democracy in Every Classroom

Bag om Civics for the World to Come: Committing to Democracy in Every Classroom

Years of political violence and protests against injustice have revived interest in teaching civics in schools. The problem? Civic education-as it currently exists-privileges systems, not students. It promotes incremental change within a broken democracy rather than responding to the youth-led movements that call for the abolition of inequitable social structures. What will it take to prepare young people for the just future they are fighting for? Civics for the World to Come offers educators a framework for designing the critical civic education that our students deserve. Synthesising perspectives on democratic life from critical race theory, ethnic studies, Afrofuturism, and critical literacy, the book presents key practices for cultivating youth civic agency grounded in equity and justice. The authors explore five world-building civic skills (Inquiry, Storytelling, Imagination, Networking and Advocacy) and introduce readers to real learning communities where students and educators are transforming themselves and society.
