She focuses on the structural constraints and household and family organizations that either helped or limited opportunities as these young men grew into adulthood. Whether young men fought or not, and whether they had cultural capital before the war or not, family relations mattered a great deal in how they fared after the war. 2019-02-06 23:55 2020-02-25 03:00:28 2020-04-01T10:54:51Z 2020-04-01T10:54:51Z 2017-05-05 book 1004158 OCN: 1100490370 9780813573489 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/25922 eng Rutgers Series in Childhood Studies application/pdf n/a 1004158.pdf Rutgers University Press 10.2307/j.ctt1p0vkjj 102876 10.2307/j.ctt1p0vkjj 111d1c48-fc70-44ba-97fa-39be459ee343 b818ba9d-2dd9-4fd7-a364-7f305aef7ee9 9780813573489 Knowledge Unlatched (KU) New Brunswick 102876 KU Select 2018: HSS Backlist Books Knowledge Unlatched open access |
