"Holz shows exactly how our generation got shafted. But instead of
whining about vague problems (as we Xers are so often accused of
doing), he whips out the charts and graphs that prove his point:
While adults were busy with the social revolution of the 60s and
70s, they plunked us kids in front of th eTV, or doped us up on
Ritalin, or stuck us in prison, or let us languish in poverty.
Though lavishly researched, this book is written so engagingly that
you'll breeze through it--even if you learned to read from Saturday
morning sessions in front of 'Schoolhouse Rock." --Pagan Kennedy,
author of "Platforms: A Microwaved History of the 1970s and
Stripping & Other Stories"
"Penetrating, eclectic, and long overdue, Welcome to the Jungle is
that rarest of books, combining the sweep of social history and the
daily snap of journalist. Required reading for anyone wanting a
deeper understanding of the problems--and the potential--of today's
youth." --Daniel Coyle, author of" Hardball: A Season in the
Projects"
