Download A Macat Analysis of Elaine Tyler May's Homeward Bound: American Families in the Cold War Era AudioBook Free
After World Warfare II concluded in 1945, the Soviet Union and the United States commenced a decades-long confrontation that would become known as the Freezing War. American international policy centered on "containment" - avoiding the communist USSR from attaining more surface - and many people looked at the physical and political implications of this policy. Others, in the meantime, explored American local life in that same period. But historian Elaine Tyler May became the first person to bring these relatively unrelated areas together. Piecing together research from an array of options - data, surveys, examinations of leisure activities, and lifestyles as depicted by the mass media - 1988's Homeward Bound draws a convincing picture of how US culture in the 1950s performed the work of formulated with and constraining its own people, specifically women. This groundbreaking work debunks lots of the ideas that contain grown up about 1950s culture, and continues to be an important content material nearly three ages after it was first published.
