Media as Cultural Discourse and Youth Emancipation

  • Chapter
Between the World and the Urban Classroom

Part of the book series: Transgressions: Cultural Studies and Education ((TRANS))

In organizing dialectic for activism, educational scholars and direct-service practitioners at the grass-roots level become increasingly pivotal in providing tools for youth of color who are fed up with the violence imposed by a militarized police system.
