Description

Back in Our Day is a nostalgic look at life in Erie, Pennsylvania mostly in the late 1940s and 1950s. The author, sociologist Charles Emmons, born in 1942, relives the simpler time of dial telephones with cords to keep them from disappearing, TVs with 5 knobs and 2 stations, and a downtown shopping area. If you lived then and there, you will remember. If not, it will seem like a foreign country. One in which children actually played outside, were not afraid to walk two miles to school, and were only beginning to develop a youth culture outside the control of their parents. To be sure it is an individual's personal story, limited by race, class and gender, and seen mostly through rose-colored glasses. But we all need to tell our stories, and share them with others, learning from the similar and the different.
