Urban Youth Culture
For the past decade, Steinberg has written about urban youth, and the distinct classification created when considering young men and women in North American city centers. Her work with hip hop resulted in an instructional DVD with Priya Parmar from Brooklyn College. She also edited "Teen Life in Europe," a candid look at the unique features of teens in different countries. As senior editor of "Contemporary Youth Culture," Steinberg and authors discuss new youth culture in regard to topics which youth, themselves, deem important. This book won a Library Choice award.

Famous quotes containing the words urban, youth and/or culture:
“A peasant becomes fond of his pig and is glad to salt away its pork. What is significant, and is so difficult for the urban stranger to understand, is that the two statements are connected by an and and not by a but.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“Every one knows about the young man who falls in love with the chorus-girl because she can kick his hat off, and his sister’s friends can’t or won’t. But the youth who marries her, expecting that all her departures from convention will be as agile or as delightful to him as that, is still the classic example of folly.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“Popular culture is seductive; high culture is imperious.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
