GENERACIÓN DE CRISTAL


EDITORIAL DESIGN

“La generación de cristal”, a title given to those born in the 2000s to define us as sensitive youths in need of constant protection, with unrealistic expectations about the future. All born in the turn of the century are entering young adulthood, the first five years of transition between adolescence and adulthood. A statement that overlooks the lived experiences of the majority of us, not only in terms of gravity but also in quantity; it seems we have lived through social crises after social crises during our short years of life. What impact have these had on our way of envisioning the future and the world around us?

This book will attempt to shed light on some questions that every twenty-something may have pondered at some point, from our generation and past ones. At the same time, it will reveal the nuances of all these lived experiences. A compilation of 20 interviews with twenty-year-olds, covering different nationalities from all continents, covering various customs, beliefs, educations, and upbringings. Giving voice to all those problems, insecurities, and lessons that we may have experienced during these short 20 years, without necessarily resolving them, but merely raising them.
