About every eight decades, coincident with the most stressful
and perilous events in U.S. history--the Revolutionary and Civil
Wars and the Great Depression and World War II--a new, positive,
accomplished, and group-oriented "civic generation" emerges to
change the course of history and remake America. The Millennial
Generation (born 1982-2003) is America's newest civic
generation.
In their 2008 book, "Millennial Makeover," Morley Winograd and
Michael D. Hais made a prescient argument that the Millennial
Generation would change American politics for good. Later that
year, a huge surge of participation from young voters helped to
launch Barack Obama into the White House.
Now, in "Millennial Momentum," Winograd and Hais investigate how
the beliefs and practices of the Millennials are transforming other
areas of American culture, from education to entertainment, from
the workplace to the home, and from business to politics and
government. The Millennials' cooperative ethic and can-do spirit
have only just begun to make their mark, and are likely to continue
to reshape American values for decades to come.
Drawing from an impressive array of demographic data, popular
texts, and personal interviews, the authors show how the ethnically
diverse, socially tolerant, and technologically fluent Millennials
can help guide the United States to retain its leadership of the
world community and the global marketplace. They also illustrate
why this generation's unique blend of civic idealism and savvy
pragmatism will enable us to overcome the internal culture wars and
institutional malaise currently plaguing the country. "Millennial
Momentum" offers a message of hope for a deeply divided nation.
