Riassunto

Goldberg (history, Cleveland State U.) integrates social and political history to look behind the glitz of the Roaring decade and see it as people did who lived through it. Finding that people were very conscious of the post-war features of the period, he explores women's suffrage, prohibition, communism, labor unions, the migration of African Americans to northern cities, a new wave of immigrants from overseas, and other factors. He does not include illustrations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Provides a timely new look at the 1920s." -- Joseph A. McCartin, Journal of American History

"Discontented America is in a class by itself. Goldberg provides an engaging, nicely written narrative and draws upon a variety of secondary and primary sources to create an outstanding historical synthesis." -- Kenneth J. Heineman, Ohio History

"A special contemporary contribution to remind readers that the decade's major conflicts -- over women's suffrage, Prohibition, immigration restriction, and racial intolerance -- all evolved around the postwar generation's palpable discomfort with diversity." -- Choice
