In White Kids, Mary Bucholtz investigates how white teenagers use
language to display identities based on race and youth culture.
Focusing on three youth styles - preppies, hip hop fans, and nerds
- Bucholtz shows how white youth use a wealth of linguistic
resources, from social labels to slang, from Valley Girl speech to
African American English, to position themselves in the school's
racialized social order. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in a
multiracial urban California high school, the book also
demonstrates how European American teenagers talk about race when
discussing interracial friendship and difference, narrating
racialized fear and conflict, and negotiating their own ethnoracial
classification. The first book to use techniques of linguistic
analysis to examine the construction of diverse white identities,
it will be welcomed by researchers and students in linguistics,
anthropology, ethnic studies and education.
