In a world where the term Islam is ever-increasingly an inaccurate and insensitive synonym for terrorism, it is unsurprising that many Muslim youth in the West struggle for a viable sense of identity.
This book takes up the hotly-debated issue of Muslim youth identity in western countries from the standpoint of popular culture. It proposes that in the context of Islamophobia and pervasive moral panic, young Muslims frame up their identity in relation to external conditions that only see good and bad Muslims, on both sides of the ideological fence between Islam and the West. Indeed,...

Health promotion with young people has largely been framed by theories of behaviour change to target unsafe, unhealthy and/or risky behaviours. These theories and models seek to encourage the development in young people of reasoned, rational and risk-aware personal strategies.
This book presents an innovative and critical perspective on young people and health promotion. It explores the limits and possibilities of traditional health behaviour change models with their focus on reason, risk and rationality by examining the embodied dimensions of meaning-making in health promotion...

The rise of the health, beauty and fitness industries in recent years has led to an increased focus on the body. Body image, gender and health are issues of long-standing concern in sociology and in youth studies, but a theoretical and empirical focus on the body has been largely missing from this field. This book explores young people s understandings of their bodies in the context of gender and health ideals, consumer culture, individualisation and image. "
Body Work" examines the body in youth studies. It explores paradoxical aspects of gendered body work practices, highlighting the...

Wright Mills to the development of theory-reflexive ethnography. Looking at the experiences of young people in different subcultural settings, this book shows how young people in subcultures interact in the wider context of society, biography and history.

The concept of everyday struggles can enliven our understanding of the lives of young people and how social class is made and remade. This book invokes a Bourdieusian spirit to think about the ways young people are pushed and pulled by the normative demands directed at them from an early age, whilst they reflexively understand that allegedly available incentives for making the 'right' choices and working hard - financial and familial security, social status and job satisfaction - are a declining prospect.
In Youth, Class and Everyday Struggles, the figures of those...

It is argued that levels of suffering among young people have always been much higher than suggested by governments. Indeed, policies towards young workers have often been framed in ways that help secure conformity to a new employment landscape in which traditional securities have been progressively removed. Increasingly punitive welfare regimes have resulted in new hardships, especially among young women and those living in depressed labour markets.
Framed by the ideas of Norbert Elias, Young People in the Labour Market challenges the idea that changing economic landscapes...
