Summary: "This book is about the making and unmaking of gender. It asks, how do boys become men and girls become women in late-modernity? What does it mean to be a "proper" girl or boy? What are the costs of failing to inhabit this identity? What are the possibilities for doing gender differently in the contemporary global economy? Drawing upon richly textured ethnographic insights and international studies, this original volume explores how gender is produced, consumed, regulated and performed in young lives."--Publisher description.
