      ‘That rebellious youth’ alarmed colonial authorities and elders alike is increasingly an issue for historians. This article surveys the issue as an introduction to the two studies that follow. It considers both the creation of images of youthful defiance as part of a debate about youth conducted largely by their seniors and the real predicaments faced by young people themselves. Concern revolved around the meanings of maturity in a changing world where models of responsible male and female adulthood, gendered expectations and future prospects were all in flux. Surviving the present and facing the future made elders anxious and divided as well as united the young. The article concludes by suggesting a number of areas, including leisure and politics, where the voice of youth might be more clearly heard, and proposes comparisons – with the past, between racial groups and between ‘town’ and ‘country’ – that link the varied experiences of the young.

      Series books, although "by no means literary masterpieces" (Inness, 1997, p. 96), serve as windows onto the popular culture of the time. Vintage juvenile fiction that focuses on the "new" leisure activities of camping and hiking provides valuable insights into the construction of race, class, gender and sexuality at the turn of the century. Not just representations of the modern historical period, these books provide insights into the "ideological density" of the era and as such broaden and strengthen our understanding about the role of leisure in our lives. The focus of this paper is on the "ideological density" of both series and single-issue books for boys and girls featuring the leisure activities of camping and hiking. Read less
