How do individuals born in the same period come to form an identifiable "generation"? How do coming-of-age stories create a sense of community and generational identity? Coming of Age under Martial Law: The Initiation Novels of Poland's Last Communist Generation addresses these questions, examining a selection of post-1989 coming-of-age novels authored by the generation of Polish writers whose transition from adolescence to adulthood coincided with Poland's transition from communism to liberal democracy. Svetlana Vassileva-Karagyozova argues that when cataclysms of any nature overlap with the sensitive period of maturation into adulthood, they disrupt the natural rhythm of society's self-renewal. In the case of the Polish '89ers, the generational clash with their predecessors did not produce the anticipated generational change in leadership, but a pathological role reversal: the elders refused to give up their leadership positions, while the young were stifled in their development and occupied marginal social spaces" -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Polish fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Bildungsromans, Polish $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Youth in literature. 650 0 $a Maturation (Psychology) in literature. 650 0 $a Identity (Psychology) in literature. 650 0 $a Intergenerational relations $z Poland $x History. 650 0 $a Coming of age $x History. $z Poland $x History. 651 0 $a Poland $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 830 0 $a Rochester studies in East and Central Europe. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180201041329.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826042605.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F3EF3AD66B5311E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
