Includes List of Other Books by Studs Terkel; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quotes; Acknowledgments and Apologies; Introduction and Prologue: Whose Garden Was This? "Studs Terkel's new book may well be his most popular. Coming of Age: The Story of Our Century by Those Who've Lived It is a collective portrait of our times, woven from the voices of seventy very different people, the youngest of whom is seventy and the oldest ninety-nine. Together they give us an extraordinary panorama of American life and work throughout this century and underscore the ways in which the times have changed. Terkel has chosen people with the widest range of experiences from all around the country, from the angry farmer in Nebraska to the resigned bank president in New York, to those who were at the vanguard of their movements, whether of trade unions, gay liberation, or the arts. One of the most startling discoveries in the book is the vigor and strength of some of the oldest people - whose will and courage have not diminished despite their age and, in many cases, infirmity. Coming of Age is also, in many ways, a sequel to Terkel's acclaimed Working (1974), for it traces the extraordinary ways our working lives have changed in the past few decades - often beyond recognition. We meet politicians and preachers, advertising men and hucksters. Here is the partner in a large law firm, suing the colleagues who have forced him out; here, too, is the carpenter, accepting as inevitable the replacement of his skilled tasks by machine. But this is not a group of disgruntled Luddites; most accept - indeed welcome - the new technologies, yet they all deplore the degree to which human contact has declined and how traditional hopes and aspirations have been superseded by the often ruthless demands of the modern corporation. Coming of Age tells us what we once were and reminds us what we have lost. It is inspiring in the honesty of its voices, the lack of nostalgia and illusion, and the mixed feelings of hope and sorrow for the new generations that may not know what they have missed." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
