{"product_id":"young-and-disaffected-valencia-richardson-9781641373654","title":"Young and Disaffected: Some (bittersweet) notes for growing up Southern","description":"If not you, then who? Young and Disaffected shines a spotlight on the people working hard to make the American South a better place for the younger, more progressive generations. Author Valencia Richardson wrote this love letter to her home region; featuring stories from young adults fighting the good fight to empower Southern youths. It's a demand to take action and stand up for their rights despite obstacles created by deep-rooted conservative political roots. Interviewing young activists with their boots on the ground and recounting to historical accounts from civil rights leaders, this book's goal is to show younger generations that you don't have to sit back and wait for change. Instead, they can stand up right now and get involved in forcing a change through political activism. For example, you'll hear a story about an undocumented immigration activist risking his safety and freedom to raise awareness about the plight of people like him in the South. While Young and Disaffected doesn't presume that hope is a given, it does show that hope is always an option even when all seems lost. To all Southerners looking for this hope, look no further than the young people already doing the work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valencia Richardson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1641373652\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781641373654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Degree Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.33d","brand":"Valencia Richardson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44652435079423,"sku":"9781641373654","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f94da910-654f-4611-b84b-fbdbf92b035c.jpg?v=1704216081","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/young-and-disaffected-valencia-richardson-9781641373654","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
