Description
Written by a team of experts, this fifth volume of A Cultural History of Youth examines youth as both a category and a lived experience, exploring the role of the young within imperial ideology, and the interactions of youthfulness with notions of progress and modernity. This volume analyses the broader social contexts in which the cultural histories of the Age of Empire played out, offering a detailed study of the years 1800-1920, and allowing readers to trace representations and enactments of youth across time.
Richly illustrated with images of engravings, maps, newspaper extracts, and contemporary photographs and artwork, this volume offers a detailed study of youth in the Age of Empire, and covers its interactions with themes such as Concepts of Youth; Spaces and Places; Education and Work; Leisure and Play; Emotions; Gender, Sexuality and the Body; Belief and Ideology; Authority and Agency; War and Conflict; and Towards a Global History
