Abstract

Deals with the ways in which "youth" is being socially constructed in Great Britain and Greece. Interviews with key informants and young homeless people; Themes of dependence and independence, power and powerlessness, youth as a positive power and youth as "danger"; Juxtapositions and dichotomies that characterize the conceptualization of youth in both societies; Curtailment of youth's citizenship status.
