While youth does not exist as a single group we need to understand what is happening in young people's lives. \u003ci\u003eRethinking Youth\u003c\/i\u003e challenges the conventional wisdoms surrounding the position and opportunities of young people today and provides a systematic overview of the major perspectives in youth studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe authors demonstrate how the concept of youth involves a tension between the social significance of age, which gives young people a common status, and the significance of social divisions. Drawing upon studies from different societies, they examine debates surrounding youth and economy, youth development, youth subcultures, youth transitions and youth marginalisation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eRethinking Youth\u003c\/i\u003e offers a provocative critique of mainstream conceptions of youth, the programs and strategies designed for 'at risk' young people, and policy development in youth affairs. It calls for greater sensitivity to the complexities of youth, and greater emphasis on democracy and equality in dealing with the problems experienced by young people in a rapidly changing world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eJohanna Wyn\u003c\/i\u003e is Director of the Youth Research Centre at the University of Melbourne. \u003ci\u003eRob White\u003c\/i\u003e lectures in Criminology at the University of Melbourne.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rob White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1864481625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781864481624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.38d","brand":"Rob White","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48089385959679,"sku":"9781864481624","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_872f8e9c-1df2-4ce5-9790-b415425d735d.jpg?v=1769109926","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rethinking-youth-rob-white-9781864481624","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
