But is it true that young people have been victimized by their elders? In this book, Jennie Bristow looks at generational labels and the groups of people they apply to. Bristow argues that the prominence and popularity of terms like "baby boomer," "millennial," and "snowflake" in mainstream media operates as a smoke screen--directing attention away from important issues such as housing, education, pensions, and employment. Bristow systematically disputes the myths that surround the "generational war," exposing it to be nothing more than a tool by which the political and social elite can avoid public scrutiny. With her lively and engaging style, Bristow highlights the major issues and concerns surrounding the sociological blame game. 650 0 $a Intergenerational relations. 650 0 $a Conflict of generations. 650 0 $a Generations $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Baby boom generation $z Great Britain. 941 $a 2 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722062135.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190905042123.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A307D530CFA311E9B77D544F97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
