Protests have always been part of the fabric of American society, but little research regarding protests in secondary and high schools has been produced. When Students Protest: Secondary and High Schools is a timely collection of essays, the first in a three-volume study, that offers a snapshot of student organizing at this level, both in the US and internationally. Protest movements such as March for Our Lives, Save Our Schools, and School Strike 4 Climate provide case studies with eyewitness accounts and detailed analyses. Those doing research on these specific movements will find both the information presented in the chapters and their extensive bibliographies valuable. Social media plays an integral role in this research, which will be helpful to those who study how student activism and protests evolved because of these platforms. Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty; professionals.
