Nancy Lesko

Act Your Age!

A Cultural Construction of Adolescence

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

By employing a groundbreaking "history of the present" methodology that resists traditional chronology, author Nancy Lesko analyzes both historical and present social and political factors that produce the presumed "natural adolescent." This resulting seminal work in the field of youth study forces readers to rethink the dominant interpretations on the social construction of adolescence from the 19th century through the present day.
