Title: Homeward Bound
Subtitle: American Families in the Cold War Era
Author: Elaine Tyler May
Narrator: Kevin Stillwell
Format: Unabridged
Length: 11 hrs and 10 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-05-18
Publisher: Hachette Audio
Genres: History, 20th Century
Publisher's Summary:
A revised edition of the classic, myth-shattering exploration of American family life during the Cold War.
When Homeward Bound first appeared in 1988, it forever changed how we understand Cold War America. Elaine Tyler May demonstrated that the Atomic Age and the Cold War shaped American life not just in national politics but at every level of society, from the boardroom to the bedroom. Her notion of "domestic containment" is now the standard interpretation of the era, and Homeward Bound has become a classic. This new edition includes an updated introduction and a new epilogue examining the legacy of Cold War obsessions with personal and family security in the present day.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.
Critic Reviews:
"A provocative thesis that will stir debate." (Library Journal)
"This book helps the Baby Boom generation understand its genesis." (Booklist )
"A major addition to the literature on the history of the family [that] significantly enhances our understanding of American society in the 1950s." (The New York Times)
Members Reviews:
Excellent snapshots of American Life, esp from the 40's thru thre 70's
Original book written prior to 9/11 (2001). This is basically the same book with the addition of another chapter covering the 9/11 events and bringing the book more up yo date and is considered the 20th Anniversary issue. Book was well researched with Appendix as well as detailed NOTES section - I would highly recommend reading this bok for those who want a look behind the scenes of American Life, in detail, especially covering from WWII thru the 70's - eye opener. A lot a stats, lot of research, lot of analysis and well told (not boring!).
Five Stars
thank you
I feel like I already knew all this.
So, apparently if I have seen something, then I still have to cite it from this era. Weird, because I saw all of this on television and read it in the magazines. If you have lived through this era, or even born in this era (like me), don't waste your money if you don't have to. However, if you don't know anything about this era, then this is the book for you.
Five Stars
Excellent book about the "unwritten" law during Cold War years in the US.
Four Stars
good, quick read. Interesting theories
