First published in 1998. This is Volume IX of the fifteen in the
Sociology of Gender and the Family series and explores age groups
and social structure from generation to generation. The purpose of
this book is to analyze the various social phenomena known as age
groups, youth movements, etc., and to ascertain whether it is
possible to specify the social conditions under which they arise or
the types of societies in which they occur. It is the m ain thesis
of this book that the existence of these groups is n o t fortuitous
or random , and that they arise and exist only under very specific
social conditions. The authors have also attempted to show that the
analysis of these conditions is not only of purely antiquarian or
ethnological interest, but that it can also shed light on the
understanding of the conditions of stability and continuity of
social systems.
