Book Synopsis
Because the preadolescent years are, according to child development researchers, the most formative, Joel P. Rhodes focuses on the cohort born between 1956 and 1970 who have never been quantitatively defined as a generation, but whose preadolescent world was nonetheless quite distinct from that of the ""baby boomers"".

Trade Review
Joel Rhodes thoughtfully explores every important issue—from race relations and the Cold War through the Great Society and popular culture—and countless iconic images—from assassinations and moon shots to Vietcong and GI body counts and hippies—through the lenses of how adults wanted children to experience them and how children actually drew meaning from them. Along the way, he manages to combine a certain bittersweet nostalgia with a broad and deep analysis of mid-century children’s lives."" - James Marten, Marquette University, author of Children and Youth during the Gilded Age and Progressive Era
