Reframing Irish Youth in the Sixties focuses on the position of
youth in the Republic of Ireland at a time when the meaning of
youth was changing internationally. It argues that the
reformulation of youth as a social category was a key element of
social change. While emigration was the key youth issue of the
1950s, in this period young people became a pivotal point around
which a new national project of economic growth hinged.
Transnational ideas and international models increasingly framed
Irish attitudes to young people's education, welfare and
employment. At the same time, Irish youths were participants in a
transnational youth culture that appeared to challenge the status
quo. This book examines the attitudes of those in government, the
media, in civil society organisations and religious bodies to youth
and young people, addressing new manifestations of youth culture
and new developments in youth welfare work. In using youth as a
lens, this book takes an innovative approach that enables a
multi-faceted examination of the sixties, providing fresh
perspectives on key social changes and cultural continuities.
