This collection of essays is one of the first comprehensive studies of the emergence of teenagers as an independent sector of society, alienated from the adult world and in pursuit of their own life-style. Teenage New Jersey explores the origins of this phenomenon during the Depression, when the scarcity of jobs forced an increasing number of teens into school, and through the World War II years, when teens acquired additional responsibilities and their own sources of income. Ignored and condemned, alienated and defiant, New Jersey teenagers have been both the cause and result of societal and cultural changes. This is their story.

"Wacker and Clemens assemble a wealth of informnation that traces spatial and temporal patterns of agriculture in this very diverse state. Diaries, probate and tax records, store ledgers, and other sources detail cultural and economic factors that interacted with the natural landscape to produce complex patterns of land use. While perhaps of greatest interest to historians and historical geographers interested in teasing out the role of markets in shaping agriculture systems, this book will also informanyone who wants to gain a more nuanced and intimate understanding of life in this region in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Moreover, the copious documentation in the maps and tabular summaries makes this a unique and valuable source in itself." --Emily W.B. Russell, Department of Geological Sciences, Rutgers University-Newark
