How can phenomenology and phenomenological modes of analysis help us to understand the sense-making practices deployed by young people in the context of asymmetrical globalization in the global North and South? This volume addresses this question, resuscitating and historicizing the formative - if generally under-acknowledged - role phenomenology has had within youth cultural studies, the sociology of youth, and related fields, while at the same time illustrating the diversity of youth meaning-making practices and expanding our horizons for understanding and responding to the unique, yet historically-situated, contexts faced by young people in the contemporary moment.
