Adolescents, Cultures, and Conflicts: Growing Up in Contemporary Europe (MSU Series on Children, Youth and Families)

Adolescent development and well-being are both affected by socio-political change, political violence, immigrant status and various types of cultural, social and institutional diversity. This book examines these circumstances and also the impact of recent socio-political changes in Eastern Europe and Northern Ireland. Adolescent identities are looked at, as well as the effects of prejudice towards immigrant youths from their host societies.
