Description:

This course takes as its starting point the thesis that much of what we think of as characteristic of contemporary America, from technology to terrorism, finds its root in the decade of the 1970s. Drawing on contextual readings by a range of historians, students examine writing and cultural objects of the era to consider the validity of this thesis. Texts include novels, essays, political speeches, photographs, music, visual art and film. (Conroy-Goldman)
