Hardened Cultures and the War on Youth: A Conversation with Henry A. Giroux

Tyler J. Pollard [hereafter referred to as TP]: This year the McMaster Centre for Scholarship in the Public Interest held an intensive Summer Institute on the ‘‘War on Youth,’’ which is a topic you’ve addressed extensively in books such as The Abandoned Generation (Giroux 2003), Youth in a Suspect Society (Giroux 2009), Disposable Youth (Giroux 2012a), and most recently America’s Education Deficit and the War on Youth (Giroux 2013a). I wonder if you could translate for the broadest possible public what exactly the war on youth is and how it’s taking shape?
