In Younger Than That Now, Holly V. Scott explores how the idea of 'youth' served as a tactic in the political and social activism of these years. In the early part of that decade, young white activists began to learn from the civil rights movement's defiance of racism. They examined their own lives and concluded that campus rules and the draft were repression as well. As a group, they were ripe for revolution, and their age gave them a unique perspective for understanding and protesting against injustice. In short, young people began to use their youth as a political strategy. Some in the New Left were dubious of this strategy and asked how it might damage long-term progress. Young feminists and people of color were particularly quick to question the idea that age alone was enough to sustain a movement. And the media often presented young people as impulsive and naive, undermining their political legitimacy. In tracing how 'youth' took on multiple meanings as the 1960s progressed, Scott demonstrates the power of this idea to both promote and hinder social change"--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aCulture, politics, and the cold war. 606 $aYouth$xPolitical activity$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aYouth movements$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aStudent movements$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPolitical activists$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAge$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAge$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSocial change$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1961-1963 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1963-1969 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y1960-1980 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aYouth$xPolitical activity$xHistory 615 0$aYouth movements$xHistory 615 0$aStudent movements$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical activists$xHistory 615 0$aAge$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aAge$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 676 $a320.40835097309/04 700 $aScott$b Holly V.$f1979-$0883444 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910153232203321 996 $aYounger than that now$91973224 997 $aUNINA
