From the 1940s into the 60s, Friedenberg taught in Brooklyn College, the University of California, Davis, and the State University of New York, Buffalo. He wrote for Commentary during the tenure of Norman Podhoretz and reviewed books for The New York Review of Books and Ramparts.
His 1959 "The Vanishing Adolesent" was reprinted ten times and translated into multiple languages. His "Coming of Age in America" was a finalist for the 1966 National Book Award for Nonfiction. He has been included among the 'radical romantics' sociologists of education in the 1980s counterculture.
Friedenberg left the United States for Canada in 1970 to protest the Vietnam War, where he became active in the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and taught at Dalhousie University for the rest of his life. He died June 1, 2000, in Halifax.
