Each of the chapters considers the activities of young people from a transnational perspective, emphasizing their agency in the development of global interconnectedness by focusing on a variety of case studies that emphasize topics and regions that too often remain unconsidered.<\/p>\n From backpacking in Europe to political activism in Africa, from Malaysian scouting for girls to Franco-Maghribi music, from Argentine Zionism to the Chinese revolution, the local practices and behaviors of the young engaged with the world. This collection is unique in that it analyzes not only the effect of transnationality on youth but also how youth shaped transnationality.<\/p>\n It reveals the activities, mobilities, and identities of the young to be a central component of globalization.<\/p>\n Reviews<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cMixing two innovative fields of research does not automatically ensure good scholarship. Yet in the case of Transnational Histories of Youth in the Twentieth Century<\/i>, a collection of essays edited by Richard Ivan Jobs and David M. Pomfret, the result commands admiration. Jobs and Pomfret have teamed up with ten authors from eight countries to investigate how youth\u2014both as a gendered concept and as a social formation\u2014emerged as an engine of twentieth-century processes of globalization. Not wedded to Eurocentric narratives or Western perspectives, the essays unfold a dynamic and complex panorama of a variety of transnational circuits and their impact on young people\u2019s lives and relationships while also stressing youth\u2019s agency in different forums of crossborder socialization.\u201d<\/p>\n –Mischa Honeck, Journal of the History of Childhood and Youth<\/i><\/p>\n \u201cThe global reach of this excellent volume \u2013 from China to the Middle East, Japan to South America \u2013 is well served by well researched, well argued, and well written chapters on youth, transnationalism, mobility, and modernity.\u00a0 The volume has an excellent introduction and many compelling and original chapters. Some chapters are truly outstanding, many are very, very good . . . The volume will be of interest to scholars, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates.\u201d<\/p>\n –Anne Gorsuch, University of British Columbia “offer[s] substantial insight into how young people variously functioned as emblems and agents of modernity, reconstruction, national identity, mobility and hybridity.\u201d <\/i><\/p>\n \u2014Journal of African History<\/i><\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" TRANSNATIONAL HISTORIES OF YOUTH IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY RICHARD IVAN JOBS AND DAVID M.
