The chapter analyzes the practices of adolescents and young adults living in rural areas in socialist Europe in the second half of the twentieth century. It discusses topics playing an important role for living with the land: protest, consumer culture, and sexuality. These topics are developed primarily with regard to youth in the Global North and in urban spaces and are connected to processes like democratization, individualization, developing new forms of politics, the growing relevance of life-style. Using examples from socialist Polish villages, the chapter illustrates the meanings of those youthful practices on the margins. They blurred the boundaries between spatial and political orders, class and gender differences, and rurality and urbanity. They show how youth lived with rurality as a reciprocal practice.
