Paperback. Condición: Good. What was it like growing up in the Great Depression, and how did America's youngest citizens contribute to the history of that fateful decade? In The Greatest Generation Grows Up, Kriste Lindenmeyer shows that the experiences of depression-era children help us understand the course of the 1930s as well as the history of American childhood. For the first time, she notes, federal policy extended childhood dependence through the teen years while cultural changes reinforced this ideal of modern childhood. Grade-based grammar schools and high schools expanded rapidly, strengthening age-based distinctions among children and segregating them further from the world of adults. Radio broadcasters, filmmakers, and manufacturers began to market their products directly to children and teens, powerfully linking consumerism and modern childhood. In all, the thirties experience worked to confer greater identity on American children, and Ms. Lindenmeyer's story provides essential background for understanding the legacy of those men and women whom Tom Brokaw has called America's greatest generation. While many children suffered terribly during these years--and are remembered vividly in the Farm Security Administration's stunning photographs of the era--Ms. Lindenmeyer argues that an exclusive focus on those who were ill-housed, ill-fed, and ill-clothed neglects the contributions and widely varied experiences of American youngsters. The decade's important changes touched the lives of all children and teenagers. By 1940, the image of an idyllic modern childhood had been strengthened in law and confirmed in culture by the depression years. With 21 black-and-white illustrations.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Warring factions in the United States like to use children as weapons         for their political agendas as Americans try to determine the role--if         any--of the federal government in the lives of children. But what is the         history of child welfare policy in the United States? What can we learn         from the efforts to found the U.S. Children's bureau in 1903 and its eventual         dismemberment in 1946?       This is the first history of the Children's Bureau and the first in-depth         examination of federal child welfare policy from the perspective of that         agency. Its goal was to promote "a right to childhood," and         Kriste Lindenmeyer unflinchingly examines the successes--and the failures--of         the Bureau. She analyzes infant and maternal mortality, the promotion         of child health care, child labor reform, and the protection of children         with "special needs" from the Bureau's inception through the         Depression, and through all the legislation that impacted on its work         for children. The meaningful accomplishments and the demise of the Children's         Bureau have much to tell parents, politicians, and policy-makers everywhere.…
