“…It has even been documented that during the 1950s and 1960s, Black Caribbean's in the United States contributed commentary regarding political and social freedom in black‐owned newspapers. These actions complemented their participation in local protests and civic movements (Teelucksing, 2017). Movements built on addressing injustices grounded on the legacies of colonialization and separatism.…”

“…The historical contributions of African American and Black Caribbean youth's civic engagement experiences (Teelucksing, 2017) are critical to the discourse of YCE. Understanding the macrosystem influences (political suppression, institutional racism, and cultural oppression) and relationships (see Figure 2) between these groups in their societies is necessary to situate their historical contributions to the greater field at large.…”

Historical contributions of Black youth voices and actions are overlooked from many of the narratives of youth civic engagement (YCE) literature. Specifically, the histories and stories of African American youth in the United States and Black Caribbean youth in the Anglophone Caribbean. The shared socio and political obstacles these particular groups have encountered throughout history shaped similar paths for their involvement in civic society to address many of these social and racial injustices. The article's premise centers on the need for the YCE literature to acknowledge the historical civic contributions African American and Black Caribbean youth have made throughout history. Fundamental historical civic movements that were designed, developed, and supported by Black youth set the tone of Black youth's civic engagement throughout history. These were shaped and contextualized by three specific macrosystem influences (political suppression, institutional racism, and cultural oppression). When YCE scholars begin to make greater meaning of the foundations and critical work developed by Black youth civic activists, a more comprehensive field emerges. With the acknowledgment and inclusion of civic contributions created and implemented during historical eras, more profound meaning is gained of civic engagement among communities and people who have generally been disenfranchised. Coming to terms with their civic legacies developed from racial injustices provides a more comprehensive depiction of civic engagement as a field and body of literature.

“…Legal consciousness has some common features with patriotic consciousness. Both include personal attitude to the Motherland (diagnosed by the content of patriotic and spiritual, and moral judgments of students); knowledge of national history, culture, art, traditional spiritual and moral foundations and values of the people of the country (diagnosed by academic achievement in the subjects of the humanitarian cycle and the quality of answers to questions specially designed questionnaires) (Nurdin, 2017); voluntary participation in activities focused on preservation and enrichment of spiritual and material achievements of the people (diagnosed by quantitative indicators of students' participation in educational activities) (Alieva, Bilalov, Gadzhiev, Radzhabova & Salmanova, 2018); self-identification (diagnosed by analyzing the results of questionnaires and creative works of students) (Teelucksingh, 2017).…”

“…Legal consciousness may be regarded as a subjective factor because it not only reflects the modern legal reality but also is directly related to morality and compliance with social and legal norms (Geng & Caiyun, 2012;Moka-Mubelo, 2017;Watson, 2016). In many ways, the level of development of the legal consciousness of the subject depends on its perception and evaluation of social reality, as well as readiness to overcome the difficulties (Riley, 1996;Teelucksingh, 2017;Winant, 1998). Therefore, legal consciousness research should be imagined on a continuum ranging from individualistic International Journal of Instruction, April 2020 • Vol.13, No.2 conceptualizations of thought and action to interactive, co-constitutive approaches (Chua & Engel, 2019).…”

The article aims at determining the specifics of legal consciousness of Russian youth, as well as to determining the ways and possibilities of developing mechanisms for its development. For this purpose, two surveys were conducted: firstamong 30 experts in the field of human rights and freedoms and secondamong 800 respondents aged from 14 to 25 years from 15 regions of the Russian Federation. Characteristic features of legal consciousness of modern students as a subjective factor of reflection and construction of social and legal reality are allocated and described. The levels of formation of the rights consciousness of University students were revealed; the specificity of the legal consciousness of young people depending on the spheres of life (household, business, civil) was revealed; the mechanisms for the correction of legal consciousness in terms of higher education are presented. The results showed that the majority of respondents have an adequate understanding of human rights and freedoms, but a significant proportion of respondents do not have a solid legal knowledge and even refer to the Constitution such rights and freedoms that are not only not provided for in it, but are contrary to the norms of a democratic state.
