Reagan's children : taking back the city on the hill

"After Vietnam, Watergate, and the economic ills of the late 1970s, the two-term presidency of Ronald Reagan ushered in a new spirit of optimism. It was "morning in America," a time of rebuilding and returning to the country's foundational values. Despite its successes, the Reagan Eighties faded as the mid-1990s and early 21st century rushed into existence with declining morals and political tensions. However, an interesting new trend has emerged: a rising conservatism on U.S. college campuses." "Young activist Hans Zeiger attributes this to the upbringing of "Reagan's Children"-kids born in the 1980s whose parents were duly impacted by Reagan's greatly revered presidency. Reagan's Children examines this generation of 30 million Americans who are now shaping their worldview, voting for the first time, fighting the war on terror, and more. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET
