Description:
This class will focus on the 1920s, in many ways the point where the United States becomes modern America. There are tremendous changes: advances in technology, like automobiles and airplanes and the movies; the development of a consumer economy, complete with psychology tested advertising; and dramatic social change, in costume, behavior and attitudes. It is a decade of “Flaming Youth.” But opposing this modernism is a fierce resistance from traditional America, from the passage of prohibition to the rebirth of the Ku Klux Klan, the self-styled defender of real American values. It is a time of spectacle and frenetic activity, with dark undercurrents and signs of troubles to come. Dr. Joan Gittens
