For the past decade, \u003cem\u003eAct Your Age!\u003c\/em\u003e has provided a provocative and now classic analysis of the accepted ways of viewing teens. By employing a groundbreaking \"history of the present\" methodology that resists traditional chronology, author Nancy Lesko analyzes both historical and present social and political factors that produce the presumed \"natural adolescent.\" This resulting seminal work in the field of youth study forces readers to rethink the dominant interpretations on the social construction of adolescence from the 19th century through the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new edition is updated throughout and includes a full new chapter on 1950s-era assumptions about adolescence and the corresponding connections to teens today. As in all chapters, Lesko provides careful examination of the concerns of nationalism, sexuality, and social order in terms of how they are projected onto the definitions of adolescents in the media, in schools, and in the home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNancy Lesko is Maxine Greene Professor at Teachers College, Columbia University. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 21, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42191644688464,"sku":"9780415887625","price":96.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/9540\/0016\/files\/QXJOaHJJdEJDdjNjR3QxeGdmalg0UT09.webp?v=1774932765","url":"https:\/\/palm-malen-gift-shop-pmrc.myshopify.com\/products\/act-your-age-a-cultural-construction-of-adolescence-paperback","provider":"Palm Malen Gift Shop -PMRC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
