Professor Jessica Taft’s 2019 publication, The Kids Are in Charge: Activism and Power in Peru’s Movement of Working Children, for New York University Press, uncovers the Peruvian movement of working children, who have fought to redefine age-based roles in society. Examining movements from 1976 to today, she defends children’s right to work and place in political participation. This book gives an inside look at this groundbreaking, intergenerational social movement, showing that kids can and should be respected as equal partners in economic, social, and political life.
