An examination of children of immigrants in New York and London. Using ethnographic, survey, and interview data in two racially diverse, low-achieving high schools, it analyzes seemingly oppositional styles, tastes in music, and school behaviors and finds that most teens try to find a balance between success with peers and success in school.
