Recenzii
The style is lucid and concise, introducing a good deal of material in an engaging and straightforward manner without losing sight of the complexities and difficulties this material exposes. Major schools of thought and individual theorists (Chicago School, Birmingham cultural studies, Gramsci, Foucault, etc) are introduced and key terms explained with admirable lightness of touch and generosity toward the uninitiated! the volume is very coherent, accessible and topical. -- John Beck, University of Newcastle ' strongly support the immediate paperback release of Neil Campbell's American Youth Culture. This text has been known to me, as a hardback book carried by my own institution's library, but its reissue in paper is sure to make the book one instructors will order for undergraduate and graduate coursework. -- Krista Comer, Rice University The style is lucid and concise, introducing a good deal of material in an engaging and straightforward manner without losing sight of the complexities and difficulties this material exposes.
