{"product_id":"my-generation-collective-autobiography-and-john-hazlett-9780299157845","title":"My Generation Collective Autobiography and Identity Politics","description":"John Hazlett's engaging and insightful study of writers from the 1960s demonstrates for the first time the ways in which the idea of the generation has affected autobiographical writing in this century. Exchanging \"I\" for \"we,\" autobiographers from the sixties claim to speak on behalf of all members of their generation. However, the extent to which each perspective accurately represents that generation's beliefs, values, and goals will continually be contested by competing texts and narratives.\u003cbr\u003e Writers whose work is addressed in \u003ci\u003eMy Generation\u003c\/i\u003e include Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden, Michael Rossman, Dotson Rader, Raymond Mungo, Jane Alpert, John Bunzel, Peter Collier, David Horowitz, Joyce Maynard, David Harris, and Todd Gitlin.\u003cbr\u003e As Hazlett discovered, the stories these writers present are not simply straightforward accounts; instead, each is constructed with a specific political and personal agenda in an effort to define the generation's identity and the writer's own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Hazlett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299157849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299157845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.01w x 0.62d","brand":"John Hazlett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437887238399,"sku":"9780299157845","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e15ab10d-3c65-4790-9ab9-5abfae1896de.jpg?v=1777167446","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-generation-collective-autobiography-and-john-hazlett-9780299157845","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
