Key Features* Focused case studies featuring key texts and influential writers, artists, directors and musicians* C Flap Twentieth-Century American CultureSeries Editor: Martin HalliwellThis academic series provides accessible but challenging studies of American culture in the twentieth century. Each title covers a specific decade and offers a clear overview of its dominant cultural forms and influential texts, discussing their historical impact and cultural legacy. Collectively the series reframes the notion of 'decade studies' through the prism of cultural production to rethink the ways in which decades are usually periodised. Broad contextual approaches to the particular decade are combined with textual case studies, focusing on themes of modernity, commerce, freedom, power, resistance, community, race, class, gender, sexuality, internationalism, war, technology and popular culture.American Culture in the 1970sWill Kaufman'Belongs on the shelf of every Americanist and in all libraries with collections of American Studies... the book guides us through the turbulent 70s while providing a solid basis for further reading and research...
