    Youth is a dynamic and socially constructed stage of life, shaped by cultural, economic, and historical factors. It is not merely a biological phase between childhood and adulthood but a period influenced by social expectations, policies, and institutional frameworks. While age-based definitions exist, they vary across cultures and societies, making "youth" a flexible and evolving category. 
Historically, the concept of youth has changed over time. In traditional societies, young people transitioned quickly into adult roles through work, marriage, and family responsibilities. However, industrialization, urbanization, and formal education systems extended this period, creating a distinct youth culture. In contemporary society, youth is often associated with identity exploration, self-discovery, and the gradual assumption of adult responsibilities. This shift has been influenced by structural changes such as the expansion of higher education, delayed workforce entry, and evolving family dynamics. 
The social construction of youth is evident in the ways governments, media, and institutions define and regulate young people’s lives. Policies related to education, employment, and legal adulthood shape how youth are perceived and treated in different regions. For example, the legal age for voting, drinking, and working varies across countries, reflecting societal expectations of maturity and responsibility. Similarly, media representations often portray youth either as a time of opportunity and innovation or as a period of rebellion and risk, shaping public perceptions and policy decisions.

    The Gift of Not Belonging - How...

    From a renowned psychiatrist comes the first book to explore the otrovert personality—someone who feels like an outsider in any group, regardless of its members—revealing all the advantages of being an otrovert and ways they contribute to the world.  Were you the kid who never wanted to join after school clubs or go to sleepaway camp? Do you loathe parties but love spending time with close friends one-on-one? Are you allergic to teamwork but thrive creatively and professionally when working alone? Do you struggle to fit in? If so, you are likely an otrovert.  Otroverts are not natural born joiners. Unlike introverts, they are not shy or quiet, and do not quickly tire from one-on-one socializing. Yet in large groups they feel uncomfortable, alienated, and alone. Unlike those who have been excluded or marginalized, otroverts are embraced and often quite popular.  Yet they never feel like they truly belong. ​ In a culture that puts a premium on joining, many otroverts have gone through life feeling misunderstood. But, contrary to what we have been taught, argues psychiatrist Rami Kaminski, belonging is not a requirement for living a rich, rewarding life. Quite the opposite.  When you have no affinity for a particular group, your self-worth is not conditioned on the group’s approval. You can enjoy deep connection in individual relationships without the obligation to follow the rules the group follows, or care about what the group cares about. Best of all, you know of no other way to think or be, other than for yourself.The Gift of Not Belonging urges otroverts to embrace their unique gifts, and equips them with the knowledge and tools to thrive in a communal world.

    The history America never wanted you to read. 
'The narrative took my breath away' Philippe Sands 
'An extraordinarily and shockingly powerful read' Peter Frankopan 
'One of the must-reads of the year' Suzannah Lipscomb 
'Brilliant and provocative' Gavin Esler 
 
Sarah Churchwell examines one of the most enduringly popular stories of all time, Gone with the Wind, to help explain the divisions ripping the United States apart today. Separating fact from fiction, she shows how histories of mythmaking have informed America's racial and gender politics, the controversies over Confederate statues, the resurgence of white nationalism, the Black Lives Matter movement, the enduring power of the American Dream, and the violence of Trumpism. 
 
Gone with the Wind was an instant bestseller when it was published in 1936; its film version became the most successful Hollywood film of all time. Today the story's racism is again a subject of controversy, but it was just as controversial in the 1930s, foreshadowing today's debates over race and American fascism. In The Wrath to Come, Sarah Churchwell charts an extraordinary journey through 160 years of American denialism. From the Lost Cause to the romances behind the Ku Klux Klan, from the invention of the 'ideal' slave plantation to the erasure of interwar fascism, Churchwell shows what happens when we do violence to history, as collective denial turns fictions into lies, and lies into a vicious reality.
