The Modern Age: Turn-of-the-Century American Culture and the Invention of Adolescence (review)
Articulating the tension between the constructions of the \"real\" adolescent (a repository of cultural fears about teens' unchecked physical and sexual desires and potential) and the \"ideal\" adolescent (the well-behaved, adult-approved youth who will lead us all into a more perfect future), Baxter explores how these two equally fictitious constructions shaped and were shaped by a variety of factors, particularly economic, in America at the turn of the century. Through a combination of overall formalization of education, age-grading, and the extension of mandatory schooling, the period of young people's dependence upon their parents was lengthened, which had profound economic effects on families; at the same time, the juvenile court system attempted to balance this new narrative of teen dependency and vulnerability with new fears of teen violence and immorality.
