Generation Z has emerged as a disruptive force, reshaping global politics, culture, activism, identity, and education through their deep digital fluency. Leveraging tools like social media, livestreams, memes, and even large language models, they challenge traditional political structures and elite dominance through digital activism and leaderless movements, often sparking intergenerational tension. For Gen Z, online platforms function as new public spheres, spaces of political deliberation, collective identity, and personal autonomy that evade traditional state oversight. Their approach to education, work, and selfhood increasingly pushes institutions to rethink authority, pedagogy, identity, and belonging in the digital era. Generation Z in a Digitally Native World: Culture, Activism, and Identity critically explores how Generation Z negotiates digitality, activism, and belonging. This book presents interdisciplinary perspectives from education, cultural studies, media, and sociology to examine how digital nativity redefines learning, political participation, and identity formation in the 21st century. Covering topics such as short-form videos, hyperconnectivity, and generational psychology, this book is an excellent academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, researchers, and practitioners interested in youth cultures, digital technologies, political science.
