The demise of state Socialisms caused radical social, cultural and
economic changes in Eastern Europe. Since then, young people have
been confronted with fundamental disruptions and transformations to
their daily environment, while an unsettling, globalized world
substantially reshapes local belongings and conventional values. In
times of multiple instabilities and uncertainties, this volume
argues, young people prefer to try to adjust to given circumstances
than to adopt the behaviour of potential rebellious, adolescent
role models, dissident counter-cultures or artistic breakings of
taboo. Eastern European Youth Cultures in a Global Context takes
this situation as a starting point for an examination of
generational change, cultural belongings, political activism and
everyday practices of young people in different Eastern European
countries from an interdisciplinary perspective. It argues that the
conditions of global change not only call for a differentiated
evaluation of youth cultures, but also for a revision of our
understanding of 'youth' itself - in Eastern Europe and beyond.
