Bristow, Jennie

A decisive intervention in the "war" between generations, asking who stands to gain from conflict between baby boomers and millennials

The dominant cultural script is that the Baby Boomers have 'had it all', thereby depriving younger generations of the opportunity to create a life for themselves. Bristow provides a critical account of this discourse by locating the problematisation of the Baby Boomers within a wider ambivalence about the legacy of the Sixties.
