Lost Histories of Youth Culture - Paperback

by Sharon R. Mazzarella (Other), Christine Feldman-Barrett (Editor)

This unprecedented and international collection sheds light on youth's hidden histories from the nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century: whether from the American Civil War, Maoist China, postcolonial Greenland, or contemporary Iran. These tales take readers into the heart of youth history and uncover unrecognized cultural contributions that young people have made throughout the world.
