Queer Youth Cultures

Bisexual Content: The introduction indicates that bisexual youth are included within the work's definition of queer youth, but there does not appear to be any bisexual-specific content. In contrast, the table of contents indicates the inclusion of much gay-specific and lesbian-specific content.

Intersecting Marginalized Identities: Includes transgender-specific content.

Publisher's Summary: ...The research in this collection bridges the perspectives of academics and queer youth, and the voices of the youth resonate throughout the analyses of their communities and lives. Through a variety of methodological approaches, the contributors bring into focus the institutional regulations of youth sexuality and gender, the complex and changing embodied experiences of queer youth, and the visual and textual languages through which the experiences of the youth are represented. Rather than seeing queer youth as victims, contributors celebrate the creative ways that sexual and gender minority youth forge subcultures and challenge exclusionary and heteronormative ways of understanding young people.
