In America today, we recognize these numbers as key transitions in our lives--precise moments when our rights and opportunities change--when we become eligible to cast a vote, buy a drink, or enroll in Medicare. This volume brings together scholars of childhood, adulthood, and old age to explore how and why particular ages have come to define the rights and obligations of American citizens. Since the founding of the nation, Americans have relied on chronological age to determine matters as diverse as who can marry, work, be enslaved, drive a car, or qualify for a pension. Contributors to this volume explore what meanings people in the past ascribed to specific ages and whether or not earlier Americans believed the same things about particular ages as we do. The means by which Americans imposed chronological boundaries upon the variable process of growing up and growing old offers a paradigmatic example of how people construct cultural meaning and social hierarchy from embodied experience. Further, chronological age always intersects with other socially constructed categories such as gender, race, and sexuality. Ranging from the seventeenth century to the present, taking up a variety of distinct subcultures--from frontier children and antebellum slaves to twentieth-century Latinas--Age in America makes a powerful case that age has always been a key index of citizenship"--Publisher's website. 606 $aSocial conditions$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01919811 606 $aSocial classes$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01122346 606 $aPolitical culture$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01069263 606 $aIdentity (Psychology)$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00966892 606 $aCitizenship$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00861909 606 $aAging$xSocial aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00800348 606 $aAge$xPolitical aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00800132 606 $aAge groups$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00800174 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE$xMinority Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE$xDiscrimination & Race Relations$2bisacsh 606 $aPolitical culture$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aCitizenship$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aAging$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aComing of age$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aIdentity (Psychology)$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aSocial classes$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aAge groups$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aAge$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aAge$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$2fast 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions 608 $aHistory. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocial conditions. 615 0$aSocial classes. 615 0$aPolitical culture. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology) 615 0$aCitizenship. 615 0$aAging$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aAge$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aAge groups. 615 0$aSOCIAL SCIENCE$xMinority Studies. 615 0$aSOCIAL SCIENCE$xDiscrimination & Race Relations. 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory. 615 0$aCitizenship$xHistory. 615 0$aAging$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aComing of age$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology)$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial classes$xHistory. 615 0$aAge groups$xHistory. 615 0$aAge$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aAge$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 676 $a305.260973 702 $aSyrett$b Nicholas L. 702 $aField$b Corinne T.$f1965- 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910481042303321 996 $aAge in America$92442038 997 $aUNINA
