Complete in five volumes. Pulitzer Prize-winning study by child psychiatrist Robert Coles, documenting the experiences of American children during the social upheaval of the 1950s and 1960s, particularly the Civil Rights Movement. Through interviews and observations, Coles explored how children from diverse backgrounds - including Black children integrating schools, migrant workers, Appalachian families, and the wealthy - developed courage, fear, and morality in the face of poverty, racism, and privilege.
