The Greatest Generation Grows Up

Más información sobre el libro

The experiences of children during the Depression era reveal significant insights into the 1930s and the evolution of American childhood. Federal policies during this time extended childhood dependence into the teenage years, while cultural shifts reinforced this modern concept of childhood. Lindenmeyer highlights how these factors contributed to a stronger identity for American children, offering crucial context for understanding the legacy of the generation often referred to as "America's greatest generation."
