White Kids: Language, Race, and Styles of Youth Identity
"White Kids, poignant, funny, and timely, shows us how adolescents work on identities in a racialized world with immense depth and precision."  Jane H. Hill, Regents' Professor (Emerita), School of Anthropology,  University of Arizona"A hugely anticipated book from one of the most articulate voices in 21st century sociolinguistics. Full of compelling evidence for how attention to language and social interaction can tell us so much (new) about youth identities."  Alexandra Georgakopoulou, King's College London"...Bucholtz's conclusions open up new pssibilities for further research and examination of the ways in which white teens choose and display their identity. Highly recommended" --Choice
