Beskrivning

Transcultural Teens provides readers with a window onto the cultural and linguistic creativity of the housing projects, or cité, that ring Paris, showing how young people of Algerian Arab origins play with language in fascinating ways that subvert commonly held notions of intercultural animosity. Provides solid, real-world evidence in the often abstracted theoretical debate on globalization and transnationalismOffers detailed data on linguistic practices that is more focused than generalized anthropological studiesIncludes the experiences of French-Algerian adolescent girls who remain largely absent from academic and popular discourseReveals the cultural richness and diversity of a population that is stigmatized and marginalized in a national context

Recensioner i media

"...the relevance and deep theoretical underpinnings of Transcultural Teens offers social researchers robust case studies and strong practical examples of discourse analysis at work....a very relevant book that has been very well developed and organized. Tetreault’s well-constructed ethnographic research collection methods and discourse analyses provide not only a very clear picture but further frame this active and increasingly important context in deep social theory." - Anton Vegel, AAA Book Forum, 2016
