{"product_id":"caught-in-the-crossfire","title":"Caught in the Crossfire","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaught in the Crossfire reveals how the United States has been gradually changing  from a society that celebrates childhood into one that is hostile to and afraid of  its own children. Today kids are often seen as a threat to our social and moral  values. In schools, some behavior is criminalized, and growing numbers of kids  find themselves in penal and psychiatric confinement. This breakdown is often  too readily attributed to bad parenting, the crisis of the family, or the greed of  capitalism. Grossberg offers a new and original understanding of the changes transforming  contemporary America, and of the choices Americans face about their future. He  documents the relations between economic ideologies and economic realities and  explores what is going on in the \"culture wars\" as well as on the Internet and  other new media. Caught in the Crossfire argues that all of these changes and tn  struggles, including those involving the state of kids, only make sense as integral  parts of a larger transformation to define America's uniqueness and to develop its  own sense of modern culture. Part of the Cultural Politics and the Promise of Democracy Series.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44520126972142,"sku":"9781594511134","price":35.69,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781594511134.jpg?v=1702032607","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/caught-in-the-crossfire","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
