| 520 | |a Blessed by a booming economy, the United States experienced the benefits of technology in the 1950s, with television and theautomobile transforming the way people lived, and the space raceoffering new challenges. At the same time, the nation faceddomestic divisions and international crises that would havefar-reaching historical and political consequences. The 1950s evokeimages of prosperity, suburbia, a smiling President Eisenhower,cars with elaborate tail fins, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, andthe "golden age" of television-seemingly a simpler time in whichthe idealized family life of situation comedies had at least somebasis in reality. A closer examination, however, recalls morethreatening images: the hysteria of McCarthyism, the shadow of theatomic bomb, war in Korea, the Soviet threat manifested in thelaunch of Sputnik and the bombast of Nikita Khrushchev, and a clashover the integration of public buses in Montgomery, Alabama, and ahigh school in Little Rock, Arkansas. Andrew J. Dunar successfullyshows how the issues confronting America in the late twentiethcentury have roots in the fifties, some apparent at the time,others only in retrospect: civil rights, environmentalism, thecounterculture, and "movements" on behalf of women, Latinos, andNative Americans. The rise of the "beats," the continuingdevelopment of jazz, the emergence of rock 'n' roll, and the art ofJackson Pollock reveal the decade to be less conformist thancommonly portrayed. While the cold war rivalry with the SovietUnion generated the most concern, Dunar skillfully illustrates howthe rise of Nasser in Egypt, Castro in Cuba, and Communist regimesin North Korea, Vietnam, and China signaled new regional challengesto American power. This book will be ideal for instructors of American history survey courses at the high school and undergraduate levels. | ||
