Zusatztext
Issues of justice between age groups (e.g., children, adolescents, young adults, the middle-aged, and the elderly) and justice between birth cohorts (the group of individuals born around a certain time as compared to successive groups born at later times) are complex and difficult and their interaction, even more so. This nexus of problematic issues has met its match in Juliana Bidadanure's brilliant new book. Her strategy of focusing on the injustices in society's treatment of young adults pays off in genuinely original and deep analytical insights concerning what is required to forge a society in which we relate to all as equals and stand to one another as equals—including the young.
