Grace Palladino examines everything from Andy Hardy and Elvis Presley to Seventeen magazine and MTV. }Nobody worried about teenagers prior to the 1940s. In fact, as a culturally or economically defined entity they did not exist. But in the 50 years since the last world war, when the term was first coined, teenagers have had an enormous impact on  American culture. They have reshaped our language, our music, our clothes. They have changed forever the way we respond  to authority. They have become a USD200 billion consumer group avidly courted by marketers. And they have changed our culture, which will never again treat their demographic group merely as young adults. Teenagers ranges widely across American culture  of the middle twentieth century to depict the shifting characterizations of teens from invisible young adults to young soldiers in training, to bobby soxers and zoot suiters, to rock n rollers and juvenile delinquents, from hippies to savvy consumers. Grace Palladino examines everything from Andy Hardy and Elvis Presley to Seventeen magazine and MTV. She challenges those who decry teenage hedonism and immorality today, showing that modern disaffected teenagers, as in the past, are responding just as much to hypocritical adult behavior as to a commercial cult of sex, drugs, and rock n roll. }","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50214991266065,"sku":"CIN0465007678G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50954286137617,"sku":"CIN0465007678VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0465007678.jpg?v=1751135701"},{"product_id":"dreams-of-dignity-workers-of-vision-a-history-of-the-international-brotherhood-o-book-grace-palladino-9780312196639","title":"Dreams of Dignity, Workers of Vision: A History of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50347363959057,"sku":"CIN0312196636G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52815775531281,"sku":"CIN0312196636VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0312196636.jpg?v=1751070952"},{"product_id":"another-civil-war-book-grace-palladino-9780823225910","title":"Another Civil War","description":"Winner of the Avery O. Craven Prize of the Organization of American Historians  Another Civil War explores a tumultuous era of social change in the anthracite regions of Pennsylvania. Because the Union Army depended on anthracite to fuel steam-powered factories, locomotives, and battle ships, coal miners in Schuylkill, Luzerne, and Carbon Counties played a vital role in the Northern war effort. However, that role was complicated by a history of ethnic, political, and class conflicts: after years of struggle in an unsafe and unstable industry, miners expected to use their wartime economic power to win victories for themselves and their families. Yet they were denounced as traitors and draft resisters, and their strikes were broken by Federal troops.   Focusing on the social and economic impact of the Civil War on a group of workers central to that war, this dramatic narrative raises important questions about industrialization and work-place conflicts in the mid-1860s, about the rise of a powerful, centralized government, and about the ties between government and industry that shaped class relations. It traces the deep, local roots of wartime strikes in the coal regions and demonstrates important links between national politics, military power, and labor organization in the years before, during, and immediately after the Civil War.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50363559280913,"sku":"CIN0823225917G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52740368728337,"sku":"NIN9780823225910","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0823225917.jpg?v=1750980066"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-grace-palladino.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
