Citizen Now: Engaging in Politics and Democracy

By Elizabeth C Matto

Book Overview

Citizen now offers a comprehensive description of the composition and behavior of young adults, an explanation and critique of the study of youth engagement, and a unique approach and methodology for appreciating how and why "citizen now" engages in politics and democracy.
