Produktbeschreibung

This volume explores the converging properties of "Generation X" through the fields of literature, media studies, youth culture, popular culture, sociology, philosophy, feminism, and political science. It broadens critics' engagement with the "Generation X" label, tracing the global and local flows that determine the identity of each country's youth from the 1970s well into the twenty-first century.
