Just what is a generation? And why, if at all, does it matter? This
book asks what generation means to ordinary people, arguing that
generation is real and it matters, but not in the ways that we
think. Generations are not groups of people who can be categorized
and attributed with static, immutable and universal
characteristics, nor are they reducible to cohorts, as is the
tendency in much social research. Rather, the book reveals
generation to be a social phenomenon and a mechanism of social
change - as a constellation of ideas and discourses that explains
what happens when ideas and ideals collide, and why some discourses
flourish and take hold at particular times.
