Description
The Other Eighties: A Secret History of America in the Age of Reagan By Bradford Martin A fresh perspective on the 1980s challenges the dominant narrative of conservative ascendancy. This engaging book reveals a more complex era, where many Americans strongly disagreed with the policies of Ronald Reagan's presidency. Activists of the 1980s often found themselves on the defensive, struggling to preserve the hard-won victories of the previous decade. Instead of ushering in new progressive reforms, they focused on effecting change in areas such as professional life and popular culture, while countering a powerful shift to the right. This book offers a nuanced exploration of an overlooked period in American history, shedding light on the diverse experiences and perspectives that shaped the 1980s.
