Description
"In this volume you'll explore these questions : What is life like in a marginalized group? How do subcultures define themselves? By what means does a subculture challenge authority? How do subcultures reproduce the values of mainstream culture? In what ways have subcultures been subsumed by the larger culture, and how have the subcultures responded? Readings by psychologists, journalists, philosophers, sociologists, activists, and others take up these issues and more. This book helps you form your own questions and responses as you investigate and write about this popular and intellectually rich topic. It includes the essays and assignments you need in order to do your coursework." -- Back cover.
