Recenzje

"Offering insightful readings of both classic and less known films and TV series, Youth on Screen is a fresh and compelling introduction to mediated representations of adolescence. Buckingham?s analyses of British texts are especially welcome given that U.S. properties have received far more attention to date." Mary Celeste Kearney, author of Girls Make Media and editor of Mediated Girlhoods "Buckingham offers an insightful and highly readable account of how young people have been portrayed on screen and the critical debates that have ensued. In the process, this book sheds new light on the evolving politics of ?youth? as a social category." Sue Turnbull, University of Wollongong
