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 >Acland, Charles R.
