Lewis-Harris -- Islanders among a sea of gangs : diasporic masculinities and gang culture among Tongan American youth / Joseph Esser.Composed of twelve chapters based upon ethnographic research in Africa, Asia, and Oceania, this volume explores the gendered cultural diversity of how young people experience modernity. The first part features chapters on mobile phones as agents transforming gender norms for young Mozambicans and on economic independence and feminine beauty among young Namibian women. In part two, contributors describe childrens use of English and Pentecostal ideology as agents of social mobility in rural Fiji and examine androgyny, social mobility, and group membership for youth on reality television shows in China and India. Part three probes gendered discourses of "citizen warrior" versus "citizen shopper" in Cyprus and describes the moral panic surrounding child sex tourism in India. The last part analyzes how New Zealanders make sense of a growing youth activist movement, how young AustralianPapua New Guineans embrace their parents traditional culture, and how Tongan male adolescents in the United States construct gang identities. --Publisher description.Gender and globalization.Super girls, gangstas, freeters, & xenomaniacs :gender & modernity in global youth culturesYouthCross-cultural studiesYouthSocial conditionsYoung womenCross-cultural studiesCivilization, Modern21st centuryCross-cultural studies.Cross-cultural studies.fastYouthYouthSocial conditions.Young womenCivilization, Modern305.235C913.5clcDewey Susan781871Brison Karen J1091764MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809468003321Super girls, gangstas, freeters, and xenomaniacs4022406UNINA
