Opis

In the cafeteria and schoolyard, by the lockers and watiing for class, the identies of middle-school youth are reflected in their constant exchange of gossip, insults, and teasing. Donna Eder, Catherine Evans, and Stephen Parker spent three years in a midwestern middle school listening to what these eleven- to fourteen-year-olds had to say to each other. Their book provides an insightful look into the language and culture of today's adolescents. Winner of the North Central Sociological Association's 1996 Scholarly Achievement Award
