Why? This book provides a unique and in-depth collection of empirical and theoretical material providing multiple answers to this question whilst investigating the living conditions of young people in Italy today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy bringing together a variety of approaches and methods, the authors of this collection analyze Italian youth through the lenses of three dimensions: \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e'Activism, participation and citizenship', 'Work, Employment and Careers' and 'Moves, Transitions and Representations'. These dimensions are the analytical building blocks for challenging stereotypes and unveiling misinterpretations and taken-for-granted assumptions that portray young people in Italy as selfish, 'choosy', and unwilling to make sacrifices, commit and manage an independent life. These prejudices often underplay the role of constraints they are facing in the transition to adulthood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudying Italian youth, therefore, not only allows us to capture their peculiar characteristics but also to reflect more broadly on the conceptual toolbox we need in order to understand contemporary youth more generally. By doing so, the volume aims to contribute to international discussion on the youth condition in Europe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valentina Cuzzocrea\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 103217269X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032172699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.55d","brand":"Valentina Cuzzocrea","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48087495639295,"sku":"9781032172699","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c68a56db-ac9f-4d6f-a156-e1b305dc2ac2.jpg?v=1769100388","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/italian-youth-in-international-context-valentina-cuzzocrea-9781032172699","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
