Reviews

Jane Kenway, Faculty of Education, Monash University:
'Insightful, revealing, and rewarding, The Making of a Generation engages with young people's lives across a range of spheres—from education, work, and health, to relationships, youth lifestyles, and life patterns. Leslie Andres and Johanna Wyn speak to those fascinated by the notion of generation and its links to social complexity and change. This valuable study takes a holistic approach to the examination of how people live their lives.'
