The book analyses types of youth cultural identity. Social identity refers to the aspects of one's self-definition that arises from an awareness of one's place in society. Every society has a repertoire of normative social identities, created and transmitted by social institutions through the set of social roles. But contemporary identities are self-constructed by choices of social actors rather than by belonging to social groups or communities; they are decentralized, with the shifting boundaries, plural and fluctuating.
