Description:
A Cultural History of Youth in the Modern Age covers the century between 1920 and 2020— an especially vital period in the history and historiography of youth. Offering focused case studies, an assessment of existing scholarship, and suggestions for future research, it furnishes a timely and provocative interpretation of the lived experience and symbolic importance of youth across the world. Tethering the micro to the macro and moving beyond the field’s conventional geographical focus on Europe and North America, the collection traces the local and individual impacts of global processes including capitalism, migration, war, imperialism, decolonization, and the climate crisis. Together, the book’s chapters highlight the unequal power relations that have shaped young lives as well as discourses of youth and the production of youth-centered studies. Taking in matters of definition and scope alongside themes including architecture and activism, colonialism and consumer culture, desires and dispositions, gender and generation, ideology and indoctrination, learning and labor, pleasure and play, and racism and resistance, the book draws together insights from leading scholars seeking to push boundaries and scout out new terrain. This volume is available in digital open access and hard copy formats.
