Description

Act Your Age! by Nancy Lesko offers a groundbreaking examination of how society constructs and defines adolescence, challenging conventional thinking about teens that has persisted across generations. Using innovative "history of the present" methodology, Lesko moves beyond traditional chronological analysis to investigate the historical, social and political forces that shape our understanding of what it means to be a teenager. This seminal work in youth studies encourages readers to reconsider dominant cultural narratives about adolescence and examine how institutions, media and social discourse influence the way we perceive young people. Published by Routledge as part of the Critical Social Thought series, the book serves as an essential resource for scholars, educators and anyone seeking to understand the complex social construction underlying contemporary adolescent identity and behaviour.

Key Features

Nancy Lesko's analysis employs a groundbreaking "history of the present" methodology that challenges traditional chronological approaches to understanding adolescence.

The book examines both historical and present social and political factors that shape the presumed "natural adolescent" and teen identity.

Act Your Age! provides a seminal contribution to youth studies that forces critical reconsideration of dominant cultural interpretations about teenagers.

Published by Routledge as part of the Critical Social Thought series, offering scholarly perspective on the social construction of adolescence.
