| Sumario: | "The Dominion of Youth: Adolescence and the Making of Modern Canada, 1920-1950 captures what it meant for young Canadians to inhabit this liminal stage of life within the context of a young nation caught up in the self-formation and historic transformation that would make modern Canada. Because the young at this time were seen paradoxically as both the hope of the nation and the source of its possible degeneration, new policies and institutions were developed to deal with the "problem of youth." This history considers how young Canadians made the transition to adulthood during a period that was "developmental"--Both for youth and for a nation also working toward individuation."--Jacket |
