When the groundbreaking show, The Kids of Degrassi Street, debuted twenty-five years ago, it was definitely teen television with a difference. The characters were refreshingly, astonishingly real and fans immediately saw themselves in the series' true-to-life storylines. Legions of teens followed the students through Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi Highand transformed the collective series into Degrassi Classic. Degrassi wasnt afraid to tackle big issues such as Aids, suicide, teen pregnancy, and interracial relationships. But it also offered glamour-free depictions of the daily mortifications of teenage existence -- shopping for your first bra, being the shortest guy in grade seven, having nothing to wear for your school photo. In 2005, even though Spike's giant hairdo has long gone out of style, the Degrassi Classic series continues to resonate with viewers across North America and around the world, from Sweden to Australia. And the 2001 launch of Degrassi: The Next Generation has introduced thousands of new viewers--young and old alike--to the Halls of Degrassi. Now, for the first time ever, a lavishly illustrated book about Degrassi--written by a Degrassi insider--takes fans behind the scenes of one of televisions most successful on-going teen series. Degrassi Generations is the ultimate fan book and a remarkable history of all the kids of Degrassi Street.

Download and read online ebook Girl Culture [2 volumes] write by Claudia Mitchell. This book was released on 2007-12-30. Girl Culture [2 volumes] available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Never before has so much popular culture been produced about what it means to be a girl in today's society. From the first appearance of Nancy Drew in 1930, to Seventeen magazine in 1944 to the emergence of Bratz dolls in 2001, girl culture has been increasingly linked to popular culture and an escalating of commodities directed towards girls of all ages. Editors Claudia A. Mitchell and Jacqueline Reid-Walsh investigate the increasingly complex relationships, struggles, obsessions, and idols of American tween and teen girls who are growing up faster today than ever before. From pre-school to high school and beyond, Girl Culture tackles numerous hot-button issues, including the recent barrage of advertising geared toward very young girls emphasizing sexuality and extreme thinness. Nothing is off-limits: body image, peer pressure, cliques, gangs, and plastic surgery are among the over 250 in-depth entries highlighted. Comprehensive in its coverage of the twenty and twenty-first century trendsetters, fashion, literature, film, in-group rituals and hot-button issues that shape—and are shaped by—girl culture, this two-volume resource offers a wealth of information to help students, educators, and interested readers better understand the ongoing interplay between girls and mainstream culture.
