Caught in the Crossfire

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the troubling shift in American society from celebrating childhood to viewing children as threats to social and moral values. It highlights the criminalization of certain behaviors in schools, leading to increased confinement of youth. Grossberg challenges common narratives attributing these issues to parenting or family crises, instead linking them to broader economic ideologies and cultural conflicts. He examines the implications of these changes on America's identity and modern culture, urging a reevaluation of societal attitudes toward children.
