Description

In Freaks, Geeks, and Cool Kids, Second Edition, award-winning sociologist Murray Milner tries to understand why teenagers behave the way they do.

The first edition drew upon two years of intensive fieldwork in one high school and 300 written interviews about high schools across the country, where he argued that consumer culture greatly impacts the way our youth relate to one another and understand themselves and society.

Milner now expands on that concept with a new year of fieldwork fifteen years after he began.

He has uncovered in teens a move away from consumerism and towards the cultural capital of information in a time of social media and standardized tests.
