Download Dancing in the Dark: A Cultural History of the Great Depression AudioBook Free
Hailed as one of the best literature of 2009 by the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, this lively portrait of 1930s culture masterfully explores the nervousness and trust, the despair and astonishing optimism of distressed Americans during the Great Depressive disorder.Morris Dickstein, whom Norman Mailer called "one of the best & most recognized critics of American books," has taken together a staggering range of material, from epic Dust Dish migrations to zany screwball comedies, fashionable party musicals, wildly popular swing rings, and streamlined artwork deco designs. Exploding the myth that Depressive disorder culture was just escapist, Dickstein specializes in the active energy of the arts and the producing lift they provided to the nation's morale. A brand new and exhilarating examination of 1 of America's most amazing artistic durations, with Dancing in the Dark Dickstein offers a monumental critique.
