Young People, Leisure and Place reports on cross-cultural research
into the personal geographies of young people. It explores young
people's leisure and recreational pursuits, including favourite
places, and.offers a tentative theory of adolescent thinking and
development. The major themes explored are the impact of
globalisation on young people, their reference systems and their
use of private and public spaces. Evidence is presented of global,
national and local dimensions of growing up in different countries
in a post-modern world. The book contributes to a better
understanding of issues of contemporary citizenship in a globalised
world where the commodification of knowledge blurs boundaries and
values. Effective citizenship in a world of time-space compression
and instant access to diverse sources of information is
problematic. This book provides a fascinating insight into the
discerning values of young people. As they reveal their hopes and
dreams within the knowledge society, the young people involved in
this cross-cultural enquiry also highlight their conservatism and
the traditional core values associated with their homes and
families.
