This series aims to advance a distinct critical youth studies perspective, rooted in empirical inquiry, guided by a core set of theoretical and methodological commitments, and intended to have relevance for social policy and institutional practice. The series examines the socially constructed nature of childhood and adolescence and seeks to complicate universal and essentialist understandings of childhood. The Critical Perspectives on Youth series takes young people’s social worlds as the starting point for analysis as it explores how the meaning and experience of being young and coming of age is differently patterned by race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, class, nation, community and place; examines how youth’s worlds are created in and through a complex of social interactions, networks and organizations, institutions, and discourses; and sheds light on social and economic inequality and global transformations as they unfold in childhood and the lives of youth.
