Cold War and McCarthy Era: People and Perspectives: Perspectives in American Social History
Editat de Caroline S. Emmonsen Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 iun 2010
Studies of the Cold War often focus on the political power players who shaped American/Soviet relations. Cold War and McCarthy Era: People and Perspectives shifts the spotlight to show how the fear of a Soviet attack and Communist infiltration affected the daily life of everyday Americans.
Cold War and McCarthy Era gauges the impact of McCarthyism on a wide range of citizens. Chapters examine Cold War-era popular culture as well as the community-based Civil Defense Societies. Essays, key primary documents, and other reference tools further readers' understanding of how official reactions to Communist threats, both real and perceived, altered every aspect of American society.

Focusing on ordinary people rather than wellknown figures, historians and other scholars from the US address effects
on men, women, children, gays and lesbians, African Americans, laborers, journalists, federal and civil defense workers, and popular culture, in addition to the politicians who shaped Cold War debates at the local and national levels. They identify the ways Cold War anxieties and priorities shaped US attitudes about gender relations, child-rearing, sexual behavior, and other aspects of life. Included are primary documents like testimony before the House Committee on Un- American Activities.
