Together the two books, numbers 5 and 6 in the series: European Issues in Children?'s Identity and Citizenship, analyze what is different and what is unchanging about the way children establish their identities in the context of rapidly shifting social, political, economic, and cultural conditions in Europe.The contributors come from across Europe. They explore the construction of identities in multicultural states, of being for example a Muslim teenager in France or a Chinese adolescent in the U.K. The formation of stereotyped ideas is considered in the light of History and Geography teaching, computer-mediated communication, and the mass media. Also explored is how adolescents in Europe develop their identity as consumers.Published with Children?'s Identity and Citizenship in Europe (CiCe), this book is for all professionals who work with young people in all disciplines and throughout Europe.
