Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. ; 321 pages; A serious, controversial, and highly literate attack on the myths and mythologizers of youthcult. "Distinguishing three sub-generations within the larger group born between 1939 and 1954, Clifford Adelman convincingly demonstrates that commitment and involvement-whether in movies or other mass media, books or rock, ecology or communes- are lowest among the youngest subgroup. The electronic media and the schools have done their work too well. He feels that too many in the youngest group " have lost the concrete language, perceptual skills and will-energy necessary both for coping with mainstream culture and for achieving their own announced goals of "viable Alternatives."
