Contributors present a portrait of low-income, urban American adolescent girls based on fact rather than stereotype, aiming to fill the gap in research about adolescent girls. They explore girls' attitudes and alternatives in areas such as identity, family and peer relationships, sexuality, health, and career development, often allowing the girls to speak for themselves. For undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, sociology, economics, and women's studies, as well as policymakers. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

"Sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, and even gang rape are not uncommon experiences for many African American girls living in poor urban neighborhoods. In Getting Played, Jody Miller presents a compelling picture of how inextricably linked such violence is to their daily lives. Drawing from richly textured interviews with adolescent girls and boys, Miller brings a keen eye to how urban neglect and gender inequality coalesce to structure girls' risks for gendered violence. Her analysis shows how young women struggle to navigate this dangerous terrain despite vastly inadequate social and institutional support."--Back cover.

"No more romance," said the renowned erotic photographer Stefan Soell, after enjoying great success with his two lavish photographic volumes entitled "Alpenglow" and "Volcanic Girls." A completely new, modern style of portraying the nude was required, and Stefan has once more succeeded convincingly. He searched for the right type of woman to match his vision for three long years, finally settling on something between the young, successful, cool businesswoman and glamorous movie star. Oozing beauty, of course, fantastically built, with a confident, cheeky appearance, and unashamedly flaunting their sex appeal. Soell has discoveredmore than16 completely new, never-seen-before faces, and managed to fit all their glorious nudity into the unprecedented environment of finest, ultra-modern, minimalist architecture. The contrast between the wonderful, warm skin tones, sensual body shapes and the cool, modern architecture could not be greater, and the very unusual combination of hot eroticism and cool design increases the attraction of this volume of photos immensely."
