Description

This scholarly study examines how Cold War pressures transformed American society and reshaped the relationship between parents and their adolescent and adult children. The book traces the emergence of a distinctive post-war family dynamic that allowed young Americans to develop identities separate from previous generations, leading to widespread rejection of contemporary American values. Through in-depth readings of major writers including Arthur Miller, William Styron, J.D. Salinger, Tennessee Williams, Vladimir Nabokov and others, the author explores how age-segregation became a defining feature of post-war America. Part of Routledge's Transnational Perspectives on American Literature series, this volume offers critical analysis of how Cold War anxieties influenced American literary culture and youth identity formation during a pivotal period of social change.
