Beyond Conformity or Rebellion Youth and Authority in America

By the late 1970s, drugs, blue jeans, rock and roll, and sexual precocity appeared to be all that remained of the cultural ferment of the 1960s. In this classic new study of high school-aged youth in the eartly 70s, Gary Schwartz reveals subtle yet significant changes in the style of deviance in adolescent culture. He argues that a new sort of peer-group pluralism emerged from the counter-culture movement of the 60s, a deviance defined less by persistent violations of the law than by disengagement from traditional images of success and civic responsibility.Schwartz, Gary is the author of 'Beyond Conformity or Rebellion Youth and Authority in America' with ISBN 9780226742069 and ISBN 0226742067.
