dc.descriptionThe study of youth is a field still in formation. What youth is, when it begins, and when it ends, remain questions yet to be fully answered. In our own century, when medical advances and hygiene have meant that it is commoner to live into later decades than our ancestors could have imagined, we should remember that the idea of a lengthy youth lasting into one’s 20s might have seemed odd to generations who might expect to live only into their 40s or a little beyond. The twentieth century marks the first historical occasion when large swathes of youth around the globe, even in parts of the world where life expectancy had been low, were able to conduct lives long enough to make youth a topic worthy of study. Despite the wars and destruction that marked that last century, the emergence of youth as a subject of enquiry should be a cause for celebration. That a collection such as this could exist, showing connection, flow and influence between youth in different places and different times, should also be celebrated.en_US
