First published in 1995, Youth Cultures critically studies an
anthropologically neglected population: the youth. The book
broadens the scope for analysing young people's behaviour by moving
away from notions of resistance and deviance and offers a range of
ethnographically based studies of different kinds of youth in
varied national contexts. From Nepal to Canada, Europe, the Solomon
Islands and Algeria, it addresses issues relating to globalisation
in Third World cities, ethnic diversity in European cities and
consumption practices, and places the lives of these young people
in the contexts of wider cultures. Youth Cultures contributes to
the general concern in anthropology with 'rewriting' culture, even
while it seeks to close particular gaps in studies on youth
culture. By challenging the limitation of previous youth research
and acknowledging children and young adults as agents to be
respected rather than objectified, this book will be invaluable
reading to students of anthropology, sociology, education,
psychology, and cultural studies.
