Covering the turbulent decade that ushered in Ms. magazine, Mood rings, Studio 54, Stephen King horror novels, and granola, this compelling book chronicles the significant changes in our country during the Me Decade of the 1970s.
Kelly Boyer Sagert is a freelance writer who has published biographical material with Gale, Scribner, Oxford, and Harvard University, focusing on athletes and historical figures. She is the author of Joe Jackson: A Biography (Greenwood, 2004).
This work surveys the landscape of American popular culture during
the 1970s. The treatment is expository and sacrifices complex
theory and analysis in favor of general accessibility. Opening
chapters discuss everyday life and the world of youth culture,
followed by chapters that individually focus on advertising,
architecture, fashion, food and the environment, leisure
activities, literature, music, performing arts, and travel.
