Foot Soldiers of Modernity: The Dialectics of Cultural Consumption and the 21st-Century School.
Willis, Paul
Harvard Educational Review, v73 n3 p390-415 Fall 2003
Positions the school as a site through which cultural responses to material conditions are played out. Identifies responses to three waves of modernization--universal schooling, postindustrial society, and commodified electronic culture--that are accompanied by specific cultural forms such as youth culture. Suggests that these forms are sites for social change. (Contains 40 references.) (SK)
