In this article, the author offers the theme of intergenerational tension as an approach to bring students from varied cultural backgrounds together into a shared conversation, one that resonates with their personal experiences and that potentially can lead them to more critical reflection on such issues as race, national identity, and social responsibility. He briefly discusses three coming-of-age texts through the lens of generational tension in order to emphasize similarities that resonate with adolescent students and then offers some suggestions about how to use this focus in the classroom.
