Beschreibungen/Notizen
The concept of "Waithood" was developed by political scientist
Diane Singerman to describe the expanding period of time between
adolescence and full adulthood as young people wait to secure
steady employment and marry. The contributors to this volume employ
the waithood concept as a frame for richly detailed ethnographic
studies of "youth in waiting" from a variety of world areas,
including the Middle East Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and
the U.S, revealing that whether voluntary or involuntary, the
phenomenon of youth waithood necessitates a recognition of new
gender and family roles.
