Description
Learning Capitalist Culture Deep in the Heart of Tejas explores how young people in a small south Texas town learn traditional American values through everyday activities. Over 36 years, author Douglas E. Foley has observed significant cultural and political change in this community, including the impact of the Chicano civil rights movement on racial tensions. Foley examines how these youth acquire American values through sports, social groups, dating, and interactions with teachers, revealing how class and gender inequalities are preserved or reproduced in the process. This updated edition includes new sections on theory and field methods, as well as an epilogue revisiting some of the original research participants. Through its ethnographic study, Learning Capitalist Culture Deep in the Heart of Tejas sheds light on the complex ways in which cultural values are learned and transmitted in a changing society.
