Anita Harris creates a realistic portrait of the "new girl" that has appeared in the twenty-first century--she may still play with Barbie, but she is also likely to play soccer or basketball, be assertive and may even be sexually aware, if not active. Building on this new definition, Harris explores the many key areas central to the lives of girls from a global perspective, such as girlspace, schools, work, aggression, sexuality and power.
Young urbanites in Vienna who spend most of their leisure time in public neighborhood parks come forward in this study. Their daily lives and their fragmented prospects are shown. The book develops a general view on growing up in cities into an in-depth representation of youth. Music as a medium of expression and resistance forms the bass-line of the study. Anthropological fieldwork, youth work backgrounds, and bits from Chicago, London and Paris show a mosaic of coming of age under conditions of global migration and inequality.
