I've been doing some online reaserch on Adultism and Youth Oppression. I'm wondering if there are any good books to read to get a firm grasp on the subject, alongside the resistance and alternatives that have been put forth.

I know about A.S Neill, and have a vague knowledge about John Holt, but that marks the extent of my knowledge.

Although written in the 1960s Paul Goodman's books address this subject. PM Press has recently published a collection of his anarchist writings and re-published his The New Reformation. But Goodman's Growing Up Absurd (1960) was the first intelligent analysis of youth oppression in an advanced capitalist society (though it's now dated in some respects.)
