Balancing Acts: Youth Culture in the Global City
Natasha Kumar Warikoo
An examination of children of immigrants in New York and London. Using ethnographic, survey, and interview data in two racially diverse, low-achieving high schools, it analyzes seemingly oppositional styles, tastes in music, and school behaviors and finds that most teens try to find a balance between success with peers and success in school.
