The portrait reveals the adolescent now: but he or she can reflect on past and future (this will help us understand how they think of themselves in present time). 3WHAT IS "CULTURAL IDENTITY"? 4 WHAT DOES YOUR INFORMANT WANT TO SAY ABOUT HERSELF?

Field Methods: Teens: September 2008

How weird is that? While Nick Hornby respects the seriousness of these subjects, he also manages to write an irresisti...
