Youth are often seen as emblematic of this crisis--frequently represented as uninterested in political life, ill-informed about current-affairs, and unwilling to register and vote. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBy Any Media Necessary \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a profoundly different picture of contemporary American youth. Young men and women are tapping into the potential of new forms of communication such as social media platforms, spreadable videos and memes, remixing the language of popular culture, and seeking to bring about political change--by any media necessary. In a series of case studies covering a diverse range of organizations, networks, and movements involving young people in the political process--from the Harry Potter Alliance which fights for human rights in the name of the popular fantasy franchise to immigration rights advocates using superheroes to dramatize their struggles--\u003ci\u003eBy Any Media Necessary\u003c\/i\u003e examines the civic imagination at work. Before the world can change, people need the ability to imagine what alternatives might look like and identify paths by which change can be achieved. Exploring new forms of political activities and identities emerging from the practice of participatory culture, \u003ci\u003eBy Any Media Necessary\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how these shifts in communication have unleashed a new political dynamism in American youth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRead Online at connectedyouth.nyupress.org\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHenry Jenkins (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHenry Jenkins \u003c\/b\u003eis the Provost's Professor of Communication, Journalism, Cinematic Arts and Education at the University of Southern California.
