Routledge Visual and Cultural Identity of Global Youth Book

Explore the complex ways youth and young adults build identity through this scholarly collection from Routledge. This volume brings together leading global scholars to examine how visual and cultural constructs shape the lives of young people across the world. By looking at both the Global North and Global South, the text provides a wide-reaching international perspective on how identity is lived and expressed. Readers will examine how identity is performed through the clothed body, gender, sexuality, and race. The chapters look at artistic and pedagogical making practices, as well as how young people engage with spaces and places. The research is framed by modern concepts like new materialism, social media, and popular and material culture. This book is a valuable resource for those studying how identity is shifting and entangled in a globalized world, offering deep insights into the ways young adults engage and belong in contemporary society.
