Comparative Perspectives on Political Socialization and Civic Education.
Torney-Purta, Judith
Comparative Education Review, v44 n1 p88-95 Feb 2000
Four books, published 1997-99, draw on diverse disciplines in 18 countries to examine the meaning of civic identity and the contributions of formal and informal institutions to it during late childhood and adolescence. The books move beyond a narrow view of outcomes and inputs of political socialization to encompass activist social movements and youth involvement in their communities. (SV)
