Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the wake of World War II, Americans developed an unusually deep and all-encompassing national unity, as postwar affluence and the Cold War combined to naturally produce a remarkable level of agreement about the nation's core values. Or so the story has long been told. Inventing the 'American Way' challenges this vision of inevitable consensus. Americans, as Wendy Wall argues in this innovative book, were united, not so much by identical beliefs, as by a shared conviction that a distinctive 'American Way' existed and that the affirmation of such common ground was essential to the future of the nation. Moreover, the roots of consensus politics lie not in the Cold War era, but in the turbulent decade that preceded U.S. entry into World War II. The social and economic chaos of the Depression years alarmed a diverse array of groups, as did the rise of two 'alien' ideologies: fascism and communism. In this context, Americans of divergent backgrounds and beliefs seized on the notion of a unifying 'American Way' and sought to convince their fellow citizens of its merits. Wall traces the competing efforts of business groups, politicians, leftist intellectuals, interfaith proponents, civil rights activists, and many others over nearly three decades to shape public understandings of the 'American Way.' Along the way, she explores the politics behind cultural productions ranging from The Adventures of Superman to the Freedom Train that circled the nation in the late 1940s. She highlights the intense debate that erupted over the term 'democracy' after World War II, and identifies the origins of phrases such as 'free enterprise' and the 'Judeo-Christian tradition' that remain central to American political life. By uncovering the culture wars of the mid-twentieth century, this book sheds new light on a period that proved pivotal for American national identity and that remains the unspoken backdrop for debates over multiculturalism, national unity, and public values today.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Popular thought holds that America in the affluent postwar decades avoided extremes and shared a common set of convictions that can be briefly defined as a confidence in American-style capitalism and the democratic abundance it generated; distaste for class conflict; dedication to social unity at home and to anti-communism abroad; interfaith cooperation; and, by the early 1960s, support for civil rights. In this book, Wendy Wall looks at how and why Americans of diverse backgrounds and divergent political views agreed upon a need for and put forward a unifying set of national values. She particularly focuses on three groups: businessmen and advertising executives, government officials and cultural elites, and a loose collation of activists and intellectuals. they collectively launched a sweeping campaign to educate Americans on essential civic values, using radio, television, universities, and advertising. In this detailing of what was in fact a period of culture wars, Wall exmaines the birth of such concepts as 'free enterprise' and the 'vital center' that contiue to be used by politicians today. Speaking to those in multiple fields, this book will appeal to readers who enjoyed such books as Gary Gerstle's American Crucible, Daniel Rodgers' Atlantic Crossing, Mary Dudziak's Cold War Civil Rights, and Elizabeth Borgwardt's A New Deal for the World.…
