Generation X Goes Global : Mapping a Youth Culture in Motion Hardback
Edited by Christine Henseler
Part of the Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies series
Hardback
Description
This edited volume is the first book of its kind to engage critics’ understanding of Generation X as a global phenomenon.
Citing case studies from around the world, the research collected here broadens the picture of Generation X as a demographic and a worldview.
The book traces the global and local flows that determine the identity of each country’s youth from the 1970s to today.
Bringing together twenty scholars working on fifteen different countries and residing in eight different nations, this book present a community of diverse disciplinary voices.
Contributors explore the converging properties of "Generation X" through the fields of literature, media studies, youth culture, popular culture, sociology, philosophy, feminism, and political science.
Their ideas also enter into conversation with fourteen other "textbox" contributors who address the question of "Who is Generation X" in other countries.
Taken together, they present a highly interactive and open book format whose conversations extend to the reading public on the website www.generationxgoesglobal.com.
