Description

Book Synopsis
Presents an examination of Mexican-American and white girls coming of age in California's Central Valley. Investigating the cultural politics of how inequalities are both reproduced and challenged, this book examines the discursive formations that provide a context for the complex identity performances of contemporary girls.

Trade Review
"Julie Bettie's book is interesting because it looks at the intersection between class, race and gender in the sphere of education in terms of gestures and performance of 'class'... The interdisciplinary orientation of Bettie's book coupled with its combination of theoretical and empirical balance makes it a worthy read." -- Patgiri Rituparna Allegra Laboratory
