New Deal and American Youth: Ideas and Ideals in a Depression Decade

by Richard A. Reiman

When President Franklin Roosevelt formed the National Youth Administration (NYA) in June 1935, he declared that it would address the most pressing and immediate needs of American young people. In this book, Richard A. Reiman explores the various and sometimes conflicting ways in which the NYA planners and administrators defined those needs and attempted to answer them.
