Youth Moves Identities and Education in Global Perspective

This collection of original essays explores young people's creative practices both actual and imaginary in the brave new world of globalization. Youth Moves examines youth culture in a world in which iPods, camera phones and Xboxes exist alongside grinding poverty, declining employment opportunities, and worsening life conditions for many. As a whole, the collection seeks to address the possibilities and dangers of young people's transnational, commodified identities; how society and educational institutions might respond to these new identities; and the consequences for democratic practices and the public sphere. Drawing together contributions from the work of both well known and emerging scholars, this collection highlights the practices of youth's identities in a world of mobility, consumer culture, and new technologies that are reshaping youth's lives in and out of school.Dolby, Nadine is the author of 'Youth Moves Identities and Education in Global Perspective', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415955638 and ISBN 0415955637.
