Product Description
'The series Youth: Perspectives and Practice provides a distinctive and rare combination of expert commentary, new research, original theorising and critical reflection on how we should understand youth and work with young people. These books deserve a wide readership … the way they are written and organised will make them particularly appealing to students' - Professor Robert MacDonald, University of Teesside
Inventing Adulthoods offers a ground-breaking new perspective on young peoples' experiences of growing up at the turn of the 21st century, arguing that a biographical approach is vital to understanding the holistic and dynamic character of their lives. Based on a study of a diverse group of young people over a 10 year period, the book explores high profile policy issues: education, employment, drugs, cultures of violence and well-being. It also considers the significance of those things that mean most to young people themselves: mobility, home, belonging, intimacy and social life.
The book is written in a lively and engaging style and, through case studies and interviews, examines:
" the impact that social factors such as gender, class, sexuality, religion, disability and family have on life opportunities; and
" connections between young people's lives, social policy frameworks and practice applications.
Inventing Adulthoods is an invaluable resource to anyone interested in the lives of young people. Thought-provoking yet accessible, this book is ideal for students in youth studies and education, as it is for youth workers, social workers and other practitioners.
Inventing Adulthoods is the set book for the Open University course Youth: Perspectives and Practice (KE308).
