      abstract = {"In Children of a Troubled Time, award-winning sociologist  Margaret A. Hagerman amplifies the voices of children who  grew up during Trump's presidency and explores how they  learn about race in America today. Hagerman interviewed  nearly fifty children between the ages of ten to thirteen  in two dramatically different political landscapes:  Mississippi and Massachusetts. Hagerman interviewed kids  who identified as conservative and liberal in both places  as well as kids from different racial groups. She  discovered remarkably similar patterns in the ideas  expressed by these children. Racism, she asserts, is not  just a local or regional phenomenon: it is a broad American  project affecting childhoods across the country. In  Hagerman's emotionally compelling interviews, children  describe what it is like to come of age during years of  deep political and racial divide, and how being a kid  during the Trump era shaped their views on racism,  democracy, and America as a whole. Children's racialized  emotions are also central to this book: disgust and  discomfort, fear and solidarity, dominance and apathy. As  administrators, teachers, and parents struggle to help  children make sense of our racially and politically  polarized nation, Hagerman offers concrete examples of the  kinds of interventions necessary to help kids learn how to  become members of a multi-racial democracy and to avoid the  development of far-right thinking in the white youth of  today."--},
