Leading experts in sociology and cultural studies look at youth culture through subcultural identity. They examine the social worlds of young people in their "natural environments" of home, shopping malls, rock concerts, and school. These newly commissioned essays provide readers with an understanding of why youths, in particular, are prone to collective identity, and how they achieve their sense of self through fashion, music, sports, and entertainment.

We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others.
