Abstrakt: "Growing up Latinx: Coming of Age in a Time of Contested Citizenship" by J.S. Fernández explores the experiences of Latinx youth in California and their responses to social and political pressures. The book focuses on the youth activist group Change 4 Good and their discussions about citizenship, resistance, and the limitations they face. It highlights the conflicts they encounter between school lessons on civic action and the need for more active engagement in their community. The book also delves into the struggles these youth face as they navigate mixed-status families and conflicting messages about citizenship. Overall, "Growing up Latinx" offers insights into the complex nature of citizenship and the importance of providing a space for youth to question and understand the world around them.
