Focusing on the forces underlying headlines, this volume examines
the processes and outcomes of political socialization-the ways in
which an individual acquires the attitudes, beliefs, and values of
the political culture from the surrounding environment, and takes
on a role as citizen within that political framework. Political
Socialization vividly points out the contradiction currently
existing between the optimism found in the traditional literature
of this field and the reality of dramatic present-day incidents.
This book offers a selection of papers that advance the recognized
approach and set forth the new thinking on the subject. It provides
a survey of both sides of this thought-provoking debate and, as
such, remains as valid today as when it was first published in
1970. An incisive introduction by the editor defines and outlines
the issues and problems involved, and places the various
contributions in perspective. Greenberg voices the belief that "a
significant number of the young and highly educated are beginning
to bring into question the legitimacy of political, social, and
economic arrangements" and that the Vietnam War and the civil
rights movement were socializing events, playing as powerful a role
as did the Depression for the parents of the younger generation.
The debate format will provide the reader with a variety of
commentary and lead them to form their own judgment on these major
historical intellectual disputes.
