#Moneyclip with forty niner emblim series
Collectively the series reframes the notion of ‘decade studies’ through the prism of cultural production and rethinks the ways in which decades are usually periodized. Each title covers a specific decade and offers a clear overview of its dominant cultural forms and influential texts, discussing their historical impact and cultural legacy. Series editor: Martin Halliwell, University of Leicester This series provides accessible but challenging studies of American culture in the twentieth century.
