Adolescence, Girlhood, and Media Migration: US Teens' Use of Social
Media to Negotiate Offline Struggles considers teens' social media
use as a lens through which to more clearly see American
adolescence, girlhood, and marginality in the twenty-first century.
Detailing a year-long ethnography following a racially, ethnically,
and economically diverse group of female, rural, teenaged
adolescents living in the Midwest region of the United States, this
book investigates how young women creatively call upon social media
in everyday attempts to address, mediate, and negotiate the
struggles they face in their offline lives as minors, females, and
ethnic and racial minorities. In tracing girls' appreciation and
use of social media to roots anchored well outside of the
individual, this book finds American girls' relationships with
social media to be far more culturally nuanced than adults
typically imagine. There are material reasons for US teens' social
media use explained by how we do girlhood, adolescence, family,
class, race, and technology. And, as this book argues, an unpacking
of these areas is essential to understanding adolescent girls'
social media use.
