Teenagers : The Rise Of Youth Culture In New Zealand
Hardback Edition: 1
Teenagers is a ground-breaking history of young people in New Zealand from the nineteenth century to the 1960s. Through their diaries and letters, photographs and drawings, we meet young New Zealanders as they transition from children to adults: sealers and bushfellers, factory girls and newspaper
boys, the male mashers of the 1880s and the female flappers of the 1910s and 20s, schoolgirls and rocknrollers, larrikins and louts.

By taking us inside the lives of young New Zealanders, the book illuminates from a new angle large-scale changes in our society: the rise and fall of domestic service, the impact of compulsory education, the movement of Pakeha and then Maori from country to city, the rise of consumer culture and popular psychology.
Teenagers shows us how young people made sense of their personal and social transformations: in language and song and dress, at dances and picnics and social clubs, in talking and playing and reading.
Richly illustrated with delightful historical images of teenagers at work and play,Teenagers provides an intimate and evocative insight into the lives of young people and the history of New Zealand.
