The Next Generation Gap

In the 1960s, during an era of rock music and war protests, the American media coined the phrase "generation gap" to underline the increasing animosity between older and younger Americans. In this book, the author explores a deep cultural pattern in US history that results in periodic generation gaps and discovers that the youth movement of the 1960s, far from being the first of these classic American confrontations, was actually the fifth. The Next Generation Gap presents a persuasive picture of American political, economic, and cultural life as the nation stumbles toward its sixth generational revolution.
