Description
Jefferson Cowie's epic account of 1970s America presents a crucial and poorly understood decade in a new light. This cultural and political history explores how working-class America hit the rocks during this period, connecting politics to culture and revealing unexpected connections between the Nixon White House and the George McGovern campaign.
The book takes us from factory floors to Washington, tracing the decline of the American working class and the rise of Reaganomics. It also delves into the intersection of music, film, and TV lore with the decade's politics, making sense of how America transitioned from the optimism of New Deal America to widening economic inequalities.
This book offers a fresh perspective on the 1970s, asserting that it was the last stand of the American working class. With its unique blend of political intrigue, labor history, and cultural analysis, it provides a nuanced understanding of this pivotal decade.
