5.0 out of 5 stars
Lacerates popular dogma about teenagers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Raised in Captivity: Why Does America Fail Its Children? (Hardcover)
Hodgson's great book provides innovative perspective on the war against young people that characterizes the '90s, replete with illustrations as fresh as today's news and a multitude of quotable "zingers." A chronicle of a terrible time in which America abandoned its kids and called it "morality."

4.0 out of 5 stars
a compelling expose of perils facing children in America,
By A Customer
This review is from: Raised in Captivity: Why Does America Fail Its Children? (Hardcover)
This book is a page turner. Examining cultural attitudes as reflected in the media, Hodgson exposes the great hypocracies our society demonstrates toward children: claiming how much we care about children's well-being but unwilling to accord them the same human rights as adults. Hodgson does a good job of showing the "big picture" while still using lots of specific details, and makes the reader look at familiar news stories from a different angle.
