Paperback. Condition: New. Despite global advances in children's rights, young people are routinely disregarded, overpowered and excluded. This persistent discrimination - known as adultism - permeates family life, education, urban design, legal systems and political discourse. In this groundbreaking book, the authors provide a comprehensive introduction to adultism from an academic perspective while also emphasising its practical implications. Drawing on rich, real-world examples and research, they analyse it as a systemic form of discrimination, exploring how it evolved and is reproduced through language, institutions and everyday practices. Timely, accessible and urgent, this book offers a vision for resistance and transformation, outlining how adultism can be challenged - by both adults and young people - to co-create a more equitable future.

Mängelex.-Stempel auf Fuss-Schnitt, sonst sehr guter Zustand, 440 S., kart. ungelesen/ Neubuch. "Sehr anschaulich wird die Entwicklung in der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft geschildert, wo die Familie und die Schule als Keimzelle und Hort des Adultismus ausgemacht werden. Kurz gehen die Autoren auch darauf ein, dass diese Einrichtungen als ideologische Staatsapparate eine wichtige Rolle bei der Zurichtung junger Menschen für ihr Funktionieren im Kapitalismus spielen. Allerdings kommt dieser gesamtgesellschaftliche Aspekt im Buch oft zu kurz. Die Autoren betonen öfter, dass sie von Slogans wie Kinder an die Macht", die die Unterdrückungsverhältnisse nur umkehren würden, ebenso wenig halten wie von einem Schüren von Generationenkonflikten. Doch es gibt im Buch immer wieder Textstellen, die diese Bekenntnisse infrage stellen. So werden verschiedene Beispiele für adultistische Instrumentalisierung von Kindern aufgezählt. Einige sind sehr stichhaltig, wenn etwa aufgeführt wird, dass die Hamas und andere islamistische Organisationen bei Aktionen gegen den israelischen Staat gezielt Kinder einsetzen. Auch die Aktionen sogenannter Lebensschützer*innen, die mit Kindern gegen das Recht der Frauen auf Abtreibung demonstrieren, ist ein gutes Beispiel für eine solche Instrumentalisierung", so Peter Nowak, der bemängelt, dass die Autoren - zumindest Liebel kommt aus einer marxistischen Ecke und war in der 68er-Zeit im SDS aktiv - "klassenblind" seien und auf für das Thema durchaus wichtige historische Bezüge wie etwa die sozialistischen Kinderrepubliken nicht genügend eingehen. Da Kinder bis heute gewissermaßen die letzte Kolonie darstellen (wenigstens in jenen Gesellschaften, in denen bereits weitgehende Rechte für Frauen, sexuelle Minderheiten etc. umgesetzt sind) ist dieses Buch dennoch eine gute Einführung in eine immer noch viel zu wenig beachtete Thematik. Gramm 600.
