The Disappearance of Childhood (1982)

de Neil Postman

From the vogue for nubile models to the explosion in the juvenile crime rate, this modern classic of social history and media traces the precipitous decline of childhood in America today-and the corresponding threat to the notion of adulthood. Deftly marshaling a vast array of historical and demographic research, Neil Postman suggests that childhood is a relatively recent invention, which came into being as the new medium of print imposed divisions between children and adults.

A compact volume that I'm reading for a research project. Every page contains information/observations that I am compelled to mark for citation later. Postman makes an interesting case for the creating of "childhood" with the advent of the printing press and its disappearance with technology and a visual culture. ( )

Neil Postman says that childhood disappeared in the dark ages because literacy, education, and shame were lost. Childhood began when one was 7 years old because all the information they had was the same as the adults had. There were no adult secrets or process of developing skills that adults needed (e.g., reading).

"Television cannot whisper." ( )

Good Heavens! It's been almost 30 years since the last edition and we have unprecedented amounts of child abuse, the graphic novel is the current thing, and the state of our education system ... varies, to say the least. Welcome to the new middle ages/dark ages/pre-enlightenment era. ( )
  OutOfTheBestBooks | Sep 24, 2021 |
A compelling and convincing argument from a man whose intelligence is matched by his big-heartedness. It reads quickly but any three or four-sentence passage can provoke an hour of conversation. Highly recommended. ( )

The best book on this topic. I would recommend for everyone who wants a better understanding of our time. ( )
