Reviews"Sociologists will appreciate [Ct's] attempt at showing the social and structural roots of and consequences for unbridled consumerism." - Contemporary Sociology ,, Sociologists will appreciate [Côté's] attempt at showing the social and structural roots of and consequences for unbridled consumerism., "Sociologists will appreciate [Côté's] attempt at showing the social and structural roots of and consequences for unbridled consumerism." - Contemporary Sociology ,, "Sociologists will appreciate [Côté's] attempt at showing the social and structural roots of and consequences for unbridled consumerism." -Contemporary Sociology, "In this timely volume, contributors from a range of disciplines seek to understand children's perspectives on their religious beliefs and practices and their own spiritual lives. All of the contributors are highly sensitive to both the limitations and benefits of studying children's own perceptions and experiences, and the book as a whole addresses a range of significant methodological and ethical issues regarding research of and with children. By taking seriously the voices and agency of children, the volume contributes to childhood and religious studies and speaks to all those who care about children's moral, spiritual, and religious needs and capacities." -Marcia Bunge,author of Children and Childhood in World Religions: Primary Sources and Texts, "Sociologists will appreciate [Côté's] attempt at showing the social and structural roots of and consequences for unbridled consumerism." - Contemporary Sociology, Sociologists will appreciate [C t 's] attempt at showing the social and structural roots of and consequences for unbridled consumerism., " Ridgely has done a fine job assembling a mixture of diverse topics and approaches to children's perspectives on spirituality and religious beliefs and practices. The combination of global case studies with useful methodological primers on such subjects as institutional review boards will appeal to a wide swath of social scientists of all stripes, as well as policy makers. Its comparative, interdisciplinary nature makes it a valuable resource for two of the most vibrant contemporary research fields, childhood studies and religious studies." -Melissa Klapper,author of The Experiences of Immigrant Children in the United States, 1880-1925, "Sociologists will appreciate [C t 's] attempt at showing the social and structural roots of and consequences for unbridled consumerism." - Contemporary Sociology

SynopsisWhy are today's adults more like adolescents, in their dress and personal tastes, than ever before? Why do so many adults seem to drift and avoid responsibilities such as work and family? As the traditional family breaks down and marriage and child rearing are delayed, what makes a person an adult?Many people in the industrial West are simply not "growing up" in the traditional sense. Instead, they pursue personal, individual fulfillment and emerge from a vague and prolonged youth into a vague and insecure adulthood. The transition to adulthood is becoming more hazardous, and the destination is becoming more difficult to reach, if it is reached at all. Arrested Adulthood examines the variety of young people's responses to this new situation. James E. C t shows us adults who allow the profit-driven industries of mass culture to provide the structure that is missing, as their lives become more individualistic and atomized. He also shows adults who resist anomie and build their world around their sense of personal connectedness to others. Finally, C t provides a vision of a truly progressive society in which all members can develop their potentials apart from the influence of the market. In so doing, he gives us a clearer vision of what it means to be an adult and makes sense of the longest, but least understood period of the life course., Why are today's adults more like adolescents, in their dress and personal tastes, than ever before?
