Items related to Disconnected: Why Our Kids are Turning Their Backs...
In the spirit of No Logo and Fast Food Nation, Disconnected is the author's journey into modern youth culture, meeting and speaking to hundreds of kids on the way. Shocking and revealing, it gives adults an insight into understanding a generation gap that has never been so wide. Confronting crime, underage sex, fame obsession, violence, ambition, learning and friendship, Nick Barham's compelling investigation finds that this disconnection from what adults understand to be substantial or real is creating a radical new youth culture.

Review:
"He dashes all over the place, like a search engine set to random, like an ad exec brainstorming... It's full of fun" * Daily Telegraph * "A truly shocking book" * Independent * "It is refreshing to find a book that attempts to understand and enjoy the passionate technicolour diversity of modern youth culture" * Daily Telegraph * "Sure, some of it's shocking, but it's also positive and hopeful, too" * Elle * "Barham is firmly on the side of the kids... His interviewees talk freely to him about taking shed-loads of E and ketamine (originally a horse anaesthetic)... He sees people wearing T-Shirts that say "Jesus is a c**t", watches Jackass, surfs porn, and visits the bondage nightclub Torture Garden to see people having sex in public...Barham muses provocatively" * Guardian *

Book Description Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. The author spent a year travelling the UK talking to British kids. Kids from all backgrounds, in different situations. What he found was a generation profoundly different from those that have come before. They are not inheriting your culture - they're moving into a new improvded version, with a permanent soundtrack (that you don't like), a new language (that you don't understand) and a radical morality (that you don't accept). This the compelling and revealing story of his journey of discovery. If you want to have any idea at all where the next generation is going, this book is essential reading. 311 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
