From the Author
Overview of book
In this first longitudinal study of a Depression cohort, I follow 167 individuals born in 1920-21 from their elementary school days in Oakland, California, through the 1960s. Using a combined historical, social, and psychological approach, the study assesses the influence of the economic crisis on the life course of these Californians over two generations. This 25th anniversary edition includes a new chapter which explores how World War II and the Korean War changed the lives of these Depression youth and a younger birth cohort (1928-29). The chapter also reviews the project's contributions to theory and method in the study of lives.
