Produktbeschreibung
It was the era of the Cold War, shiny new cars, rock 'n roll, and the magic allure of television. Entertainment was literally turning from black-and-white to colour, and its audiences were likewise bursting into adulthood in living technicolour. Canadian Boomers: Growing Up in Manitoba in the Fifties and Sixties invites readers to turn back the analogue clock to a different age when life was simpler. These relatable baby boomer memories provide insights into city and rural life during the age of post-war stability and consumerism. The co-authors tell their stories with humour, warmth, and nostalgia. They present personal and authentic reflections of the period, offering astute commentary on various elements of life as a whole generation knew it. This is a lively collection of fifty-five short stories and vignettes that paint a picture of Manitoba during the fifties and sixties: growing up on the farm; fun in the city; the bands that changed popular music; the high school experience; and surviving the fifties and sixties. Covering childhood diseases, Christmas holidays, sports, technology, and family traditions, readers are invited to look back and see themselves in these snapshots from a shared past. The stories in Canadian Boomers show innocent similarities and infinite differences across the unfurling of time.
