Overview
New research on unseen members of "Generation X" Based on interviews with hundreds of African-American, white, and Latino men and women ages twenty-three to twenty-five in two large eastern cities (Buffalo, New York, and Jersey City, New Jersey), The Unknown City introduces members of Gen X who have been overlooked by the media. It describes their views -more often divergent than complementary -on race, affirmative action, jobs, domestic violence, education, and their communities, and reveals their struggles, hopes, and insights. This book will help shape key debates about policy and community. "An ambitious look at those members of Generation X who are too often ignored. . . . Without preaching, they give readers a sense of the obstacles faced by Americans who must do without. This bleak and often poignant volume offers important insights into a critical but often overlooked part of our youth culture." -Kirkus Reviews "What begins as an academic study about social construction becomes a revealing glimpse into the world of those whose only connection to the popular Gen-X label is their birth date." -Publishers Weekly
