Description - Young and Homeless In Hollywood by Susan M. Ruddick

This book examines the social and spatial dynamics that contributed to the construction of a new "social imaginary" - "homeless youth" - in the United States from the mid-1970s to the 1990s. It draws from a range of theoretical frameworks and empirical treatments that deal with the relationship between placemaking and the politics of social identity. These include social histories of youth and adolescence; the sociology of spectacular youth subcultures; geography of homelessness and the role of space in entrenching marginality; and theories of urban growth, the politics of placemaking and the production of urban space.
