Summary:

Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in a London high school, Individually Ourselves demonstrates how young people elaborate notions of personhood through a pervasive and powerful peer network, shaped in and through relations of power and inequality. By examining individuality and group dynamics during such a formative time of life, the book addresses the process of identity and community building.
