But did this highly visible era of free love and rock 'n' roll really mark the start of adolescent defiance? In Inventing Modern Adolescence Sarah E. Chinn follows the roots of American teenage identity further back, to the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. She argues that the concept of the "generation gap"?a stereotypical complaint against American teens?actually originated with the division between immigrant parents and their American-born or -raised children. Melding a uniquely urban immigrant sensibility with commercialized consumer culture and a youth-oriented ethos characterized by fun, leisure, and overt sexual behavior, these young people formed a new identity that provided the framework for today's concepts of teenage lifestyle. Addressing the intersecting issues of urban life, race, gender, sexuality, and class consciousness, Inventing Modern Adolescence is an authoritative and engaging look at a pivotal point in American history and the intriguing, complicated, and still very pertinent teenage identity that emerged from it. 410 0$aRutgers series in childhood studies. 606 $aChildren of immigrants$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aConflict of generations$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAdolescence$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aChildren of immigrants$xHistory 615 0$aConflict of generations$xHistory 615 0$aAdolescence$xHistory 676 $a305.23086/9120973 700 $aChinn$b Sarah E$01539457 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782690903321 996 $aInventing modern adolescence$93790368 997 $aUNINA
