Under the weight of apparently growing consumer affluence,
globalisation and post-modern social theory, many have proclaimed
the declining significance of social class and place to young
people's lives - and for social science. Drawing upon new,
empirically grounded, theoretically innovative studies, this volume
begs to differ. It argues that the youth phase provides a
privileged vantage point from which to interrogate and think about
broader processes of social change and social continuity. These
themes are addressed by all the diverse contributions gathered
here. The chapters include investigation of: the problems of
growing up in gang neighbourhoods and young people's use of space
for leisure; new patterns of class formation and youth transition
in Eastern Europe; the effects of classed labels and identities
(such as 'chav' and charver') in youth culture and schooling; the
changing meanings of class and place for young women in changing
socio-economic landscapes; new patterns of youth culture and
transition among Black young men in East London; and how we think
and theorise about change and continuity in youth studies. Together
these new empirical studies and critical theoretical analyses
confirm the continuing central importance of class and place in
shaping the opportunities, transitions, sub-cultures and
life-styles of young people. This book was based on a special issue
of Journal of Youth Studies.
