330 .. $a An epic account of how working class America hit the rocks in the political and economic
upheavals of the 1970s, this work is a wide ranging cultural and political history
that presents the decade in a whole new light. The author's work, part political intrigue,
part labor history, with large doses of American music, film, and TV lore, makes new
sense of the 1970s as a crucial and poorly understood transition from the optimism
of New Deal America to the widening economic inequalities and dampened expectations
of the present. It takes us from the factory floors of Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and
Detroit to the Washington of Nixon, Ford, and Carter. The author connects politics
to culture, showing how the big screen and the jukebox can help us understand how
America turned away from the radicalism of the 1960s and toward the patriotic promise
of Ronald Reagan. He makes unexpected connections between the secrets of the Nixon
White House and the failings of the George McGovern campaign, between radicalism and
the blue collar backlash, and between the earthy twang of Merle Haggard's country
music and the falsetto highs of Saturday Night Fever. He also captures nothing less
than the defining characteristics of a new era, and asserts that the 1970s were the
last stand of the American working class, a time when the goals of the New Deal finally
faded away to make room for Reaganomics and a widening of the gap between classes.
This is a book that attempts to define a misunderstood decade.
