Cold War Narratives: American Culture in the 1950s

By engaging conflicting accounts of the 1950s as either affirmations of a prosperous and confident nation (in TV shows, popular sociology, and advertising) or as critiques of a society in the throes of fear, rebelliousness, and inequality (in film, literature, and media), this study focuses on the ambivalent imaginaries of the American 1950s.
