American Childhoods: Three Centuries of Youth at Risk
Book Description
Were the "good old days" really so good? This readable, thoroughly researched study of youth in America looks at the past without a lens of nostalgia, to demonstrate that the "golden days" of childhood were largely mythical -- and that sadly, many of the ills of the past are still with us. This is a sobering but necessary look at how far we still have to go to make the myth a reality.
