Abstract:

In White Kids, Mary Bucholtz investigates how white teenagers use language to 
display identities based on race and youth culture. Focusing on three youth 
styles - preppies, hip hop fans, and nerds - Bucholtz shows how white youth 
use a wealth of linguistic resources, from social labels to slang, from Valley Girl 
speech to African American English, to position themselves in the school's 
racialized social order. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in a multiracial urban 
California high school, the book also demonstrates how European American 
teenagers talk about race when discussing interracial friendship and difference, 
narrating racialized fear and conflict, and negotiating their own ethnoracial 
classification. The first book to use techniques of linguistic analysis to examine 
the construction of diverse white identities, it will be welcomed by researchers 
and students in linguistics, anthropology, ethnic studies and education.
