Title: Beeline Author: Shalini Shankar Narrator: Farah Merani Format: mp3 Length: 9 hrs and 31 mins Release date: 04-30-19 Ratings: 5 out of 5 stars, 3 ratings Genres: Children's Studies Publisher's Summary: At first glance, Generation Z (youth born after 1997) seems to be made up of anxious overachievers, hounded by Tiger Moms and constantly tracked on social media. One would think that competitors in the National Spelling Bee - the most popular brain sport in America - would be the worst off. Counterintuitively, anthropologist Shalini Shankar argues that Gen Z spelling bee competitors are learning crucial 21st-century skills from their high-powered lives, displaying a sophisticated understanding of self-promotion, self-direction, and social mobility.
