Vanguards & Followers: Youth in the American TraditionTransaction Publishers, 1 janv. 1995 - 257 pages This title is the first thorough attempt to explore the long history of youth as a community in competition with adult society. Louis Filler looks back to the fundamental social, economic, and cultural conditions that created opportunities for youthful expressions. The first part of the book is an analysis of early dissident activities from the seventeenth century to World War II. He shows that youth movements were a part of American society almost from its beginnings. The second part of the book centers on the quarter century after the war. Filler examines the postwar climate that helped stimulate the youth eruption. |
