Children born during the post-WWII era of peace and prosperity
entered history at a time dominated by I-Like-Ike politics and
domestic security. As they approached adolescence, however, their
world was shaken by major cultural, economic, social, and political
upheaval. And although it was time of great innovation and
progress, a sense of chaos and bitterness began to envelop the
country. It was the a ~60s. For many Americans, a mere mention of
this decade evokes an extraordinary time and place in the countrya
(TM)s - and their own - history.
Adolescents who had been enjoying the technological and medical
advances of the era - television, drive-in movies, rock-and-roll,
vaccinations that prevented once-incurable diseases - now were also
experiencing the fallout from the Civil Rights Movement, domestic
terrorism, stagflation, and (perhaps most significant) the Vietnam
War.
From Adolescence to Adulthood in the Vietnam Era provides a
unique, detailed, long-term study of the psychological and social
worlds of male adolescents who were on the cusp of adulthood as the
1960s were ending. This longitudinal analysis follows adolescent
boys who graduated with the class of 1969 and transitioned into
adulthood either through military service, full-time employment, or
college life. The results examine the different pathways these boys
chose and the affect these choices had on their transition from
adolescents to young adult men.
