This concise yet thorough introduction to the sociological study of young people exposes students to the historical and mythic foundations of the discipline before looking at the cultural and educational aspects of youth today. With an exploration of methodology and sociological theories, along with interdisciplinary research evidence, the text wards off the stereotype of the 'stormy youth' while providing context and analytical commentary on the most critical and
interesting issues in the field. Unique in its approach and with the most up-to-date research and analysis available, Approaching Youth Studies offers a distinctly Canadian perspective on the study of youth.
