This book does an adequate job relating events in regard to ten different catgories, such as advertising, architecture, fashion, food and drink, leisure activities, literature (not very profound), music, performing arts, travel, and visual arts. Rural life is barely mentioned, so since my time in the 1930s was very rural I did not feel too caught by some of what the authors said. But it is pleasant reading and some of what is said is informative. No shopping carts at grocery stores till 1937? I cannot remember how that went in the bigger grocery stores we went to--but I was only 8 or 9 in 1937. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Most historical studies bury us in wars and politics, paying scant attention to the everyday effects of pop culture. Welcome to America's other history--the arts, activities, common items, and popular opinions that profoundly impacted our national way of life. The twelve narrative chapters in this volume provide a textured look at everyday life, youth, and the many different sides of American culture during the 1930s. Additional resources include a cost comparison of common goods and services, a timeline of important events, notes arranged by chapter, an extensive bibliography for further reading, and a subject index. The dark cloud of the Depression shadowed most Americans' lives during the 1930s. Books, movies, songs, and stories of the 1930s gave Americans something to hope for by depicting a world of luxury and money. Major figures of the age included Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Irving Berlin, Amelia Earhart, Duke Ellington, the Marx Brothers, Margaret Mitchell, Cole Porter, Joe Louis, Babe Ruth, Shirley Temple, and Frank Lloyd Wright. Innovations in technology and travel hinted at a Utopian society just off the horizon, group sports and activities gave the unemployed masses ways to spend their days, and a powerful new demographic--the American teenager--suddenly found itself courted by advertisers and entertainers.
