Abstract
This article examines the
geographies of youth political activism in Chile. It makes the argument that
a historical spatial identity of public education, as the engine of workingclass
and middle-class mobility, intersecting both with contexts of social
mixing and with a historical urban educational inequality, provides a different
lens through which to understand youth activism. This article seeks
to analyse the linkages between these spatialities of public education and
different geographies of youth activism as spaces of living together and as
practices of solidarity. It reflects on the need for ongoing debates on citizenship
education to engage with these geographies of youth activism in order
to fully understand the significance of youth political participation within
neoliberal market-driven education agendas.
