Book Synopsis
An ethnographic study of the lives of teenagers in a small Californian town renamed "Curtisville" in the text. After a portrait of the spatial and cultural landscape of Curtisville, separate chapters focus on a particular teen's experience of various places around town, at school, and at home. Finally, architectural consultant Childress analyzes the way that the organization of space and social life in the town has effectively "ghettoized" and alienated the teenagers. Annotation c.
