The Rise and Fall of the American Teenager

3.6/5 ( ratings)

In this groundbreaking work, Thomas Hine examines the American teenager as a social invention shaped by the needs of the twentieth century. With intelligence, insight, imagination, and humor he traces the culture of youth in America - from the spiritual trials of young Puritans and the vision quests of Native Americans to the media-blitzed consumerism of contemporary thirteen-to-nineteen-year-olds. The resulting study is a glorious appreciation of youth that challenges us to confront our stereotypes, rethink our expectations, and consider anew the lives of those individuals who are our blessing, our bane, and our future.
