Hello All,
I have been working on a paper on Canadian Teen Films by John Smith
(including his American feature Dangerous Minds). The following are the
articles/books that I have been able to find on the genre. Can you suggest
any others? I have also looked at Dick Hebdige's Subculture the Meaning of
Style and Hiding in the Light.
thanks
Jeannette
