has recently been released with IB Tauris.

Drawing on empirical research, this book explores the role that taste 
cultures play in the reproduction of gender during youth. It reveals the 
ways in which the gender binary persists, how masculinities and 
femininities function during this period of time, as well as the 
anxieties and pleasures young people gain from cultural consumption and 
the articulation of their tastes.

A review:

/‘Drawing on ambitious ethnographic research with over 100 British 
youth, Victoria Cann explores how taste articulation functions to 
regulate and reproduce gender norms within teenage culture in the UK. 
Through her astute analysis of gendered tastes from football to One 
Direction and gendered practices from “shunning” to “fangirling,” Cann 
guides the reader through the halls of the contemporary high school, 
interrogating the relationship between gender, youth, and cultural 
tastes that play out there. Indeed, Girls Like This, Boys Like That 
reminds us that youth taste matters, and that we should be paying more 
attention’/. -- *Jessalynn Keller*, Assistant Professor, Department of
