In this timely and insightful book, award-winning sociologist Murray Milner
tries to understand why teenagers behave the way they do.
Drawing upon two years
of intensive fieldwork in one high school and 300 written interviews about high
schools across the country, he argues that consumer culture has greatly impacted
the way our youth relate to one another and understand themselves and society.
He also suggests that the status systems in high schools are in and of
themselves an important contributing factor to the creation and maintenance of
consumer capitalism explaining the importance of designer jeans and designer
drugs in an effort to be the coolest kid in the class.
