?This encyclopedia describes the current image of youth, as created
by youths themselves, society, the media, and technology, which has
brought the youth of the world together through the Internet. In
the past, adolescents developed identity and status; now, in
addition, they have tremendous buying power. Worldwide
communication has produced an international youth culture that
affects economics, politics, music, film, and nearly everything
else. Containing information on subjects from homelessness,
sexuality, and race to the new body image, hip-hop culture, and
video games, this encyclopedia offers powerful insights into
today's youth culture and the forces behind it. Written by an
international and interdisciplinary group of experts, the essays
are insightful and interesting. An introductory essay provides
historical background for both adolescents and older generations,
and a time line illustrating the development of international youth
culture enhances the text. Poetry and lyrics by young writers, and
entries on what young people think about a variety of issues, add
to this fascinating work. Scholars, teachers, parents, and young
people will find this authoritative source useful for research and
for starting discussions on a variety of topics. Highly
recommended. All levels.?-Choice
