What is youth? How do we understand youth in its social and
cultural context?
Mark Cieslik and Donald Simpson here provide a concise and
readily accessible introduction to the interdisciplinary field of
youth studies. Drawing upon the latest research and developments in
the field, as well as discussing the fundamental ideas underlying
the discipline as a whole, it offers a comprehensive yet unpacked
understanding of youth as a social phenomenon.
Illuminating the many abstract and contested concepts within
youth studies, the book offers explanations to questions such as:
How might we define youth? How can we understand young people in
relation to their social identities and practices? What is the
relationship between youth and social class? How do youth cultures
develop? How can we understand youth in a globalized
perspective?
Key Concepts in Youth Studies stands out as a natural companion
for students on youth studies, sociology, criminology and social
science programmes. It will also be useful for youth practitioners
such as social workers and teachers.
