Gender, Youth and Culture by Anoop Nayak

Gender, Youth and Culture by Anoop Nayak

This original book interweaves popular culture and theory-led research to explore how gender is produced, consumed and performed in young lives today. Providing an original intersection of youth and gender, the text discusses and demonstrates contemporary gendered behaviour and the society that constructs it. With valuable insight into the significance of gender and culture in young people's lives, the authors examine current and future developments in the fields of youth, gender and cultural studies. This unique text is essential reading for any student interested in gender and youth today.

'This is an extremely well-written book: really clear and enjoyable to read..a vital text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of gender or youth studies, but also provides a comprehensive up-to-date compendium of research on gender and youth across the disciplines of sociology, education and geography, for the wider academic community.' - Sumi Hollingworth in Gender and Education 'Gender, Youth and Culture serves as an excellent example of how theoretical insights can be brought together with lived experience. The authors combine intellectually stimulating and challenging discussions with examples from young people's everyday lives. Extracts of conversations by young people are commonly used to illustrate complex theoretical arguments. This does not only mean that the theory becomes more accessible but it actually becomes even more relevant. I have to admit to being impressed by how successfully popular culture characters such as Ally McBeal and Carrie Bradshaw are combined with theorists such as Foucault and Derrida... It is difficult to find something major to criticize in this excellent production.' - Sofia Cele in Geografiska Annaler: Series B, Human Geography '...a well-researched text about how gender is impacted in our new global, postindustrial society.' - Kerri Kanelos, Feminist Review (www.feministreview.blogspot.com)
