Description for Sociological Studies of Children and Youth
Hardback. This volume showcases important work of sociologists helping to define the direction of the sub-field. Their work shares basic premises and concerns: children and youth are active agents in their own 'socialization', produce meaning and action collaboratively with peers, and struggle for agency in various social contexts. Editor(s): Kinney, David A.; Rosier, Katherine Brown. Series: Sociological Studies of Children and Youth. Num Pages: 304 pages, 1, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: JFSP1; JFSP2.

Three chapters constitute Part Two, 'Innovations in Theory and Research Methods'.The first ... Read more
