Although the stories told in this book were written a generation ago, they are no less relevant today than at the time they were written. As a community college professor, I was interested in reading about the challenges such students face and was left with the sad realization that things have only gotten worse during the past twenty or so years for an entire swath of the young generation (those lacking sufficient parental, community, economic, and social support systems). Cold New World is a well written, meticulously prepared and documented, and strongly reasoned work that offers today's readers important insights into the social, economic, and political factors that have served to push the current and previous generation of youth along a downward trajectory.
