Description
The Seventies: A Transformative Decade in American Culture and Society A fresh perspective on a pivotal period in American history, this book offers a detailed and engaging exploration of the 1970s. Bruce Schulman's analysis reveals a decade of significant social, cultural, and political change, often overlooked in favour of a reputation for forgetfulness. Schulman's examination of the era's key events and figures sheds new light on the period, from the presidency of Nixon and Carter to the rise of popular culture and social movements. The book delves into the complexities of American life during this time, including the Energy Crisis, Roe v. Wade, and the women's rights movement.
