OK BUNGER! The Problem of Generations, pt. 3
Added 2021-10-05 06:01:00 +0000 UTCThe third in a special five-part series on generational consciousness and conflict.
In this episode, we examine the Baby Boomers – myth and reality. The revolt of the '60s has been misunderstood in many dimensions. Was it betrayed or did it always express capitalist ideology? Were the Boomers the ones who really did the 1960s anyway? And what world have the Boomers created as they passed through life – and institutions?
Guests include:
- Jennie Bristow, senior lecturer in sociology at Canterbury Christ Church University
- Helen Andrews, senior editor at The American Conservative
- Josh Glenn, semiotician, author, and publisher of HiLoBrow
- Jeffrey Alexander, professor of sociology at Yale University
- Holger Nehring, chair in contemporary European history at the University of Stirling
- Kristin Ross, professor emeritus of comparative literature at New York University

Comments
Just taking a guess here, but maybe very, very, late boomers or Gen X? I remember hearing of them (Berlin Squatters) in the 90’s & early 00’s, when I lived in a squatting community in Hackney - but we were all very, very, late Boomers (Original Gen X) or proper Gen X-ers. We were all born between 1960 and 1970.
