Arrested Adulthood by James E Cote

Why are today's adults more like adolescents, in their dress and personal tastes, than ever before? Why do so many adults seem to drift and avoid responsibilities such as work and family? This book gives us a vision of what it means to be an adult and makes sense of the longest, but least understood period of the life course.
"Sociologists will appreciate [Côté's] attempt at showing the social and structural roots of and consequences for unbridled consumerism" * Contemporary Sociology *

JAMES E. CÔTÉ is Professor of Sociology at the University of Western Ontario and is the author of Generation on Hold: Coming of Age in the Late Twentieth Century (also available from NYU Press).
