This is a well-researched and insightful book on the current and recent progressive youth movement. Mike Connery shows how the Democratic Party could better reach out to youth by targeting music and cultural events and making participation "fun," but that this is not always happening. There are lots of interesting case studies about what did work in young voter turnout in 2004 and 2006. Mike blogs at www.futuremajority.com.

This is a great book outlining the etiology of the current youth movement and its potential to concretely impact Progressive politics for decades to come. Connery outlines the strategies that have worked, those that haven't and sorts through the history of the major players for the different subcultures. I'm in the middle of it, but it's great. Well researched and documented.

The title describes this book well - its a good overview of the recent involvement of young progressives, and the historic role of youth in politics in the United States. This overview is something any young progressive should be aware of if he/she is interested in implementing change.
