Description:
Popular culture is one of America’s greatest exports. Hollywood movies are popular around the world, American radio and its fast-talking deejays became a model for other countries to emulate, and music from Jazz to Country, Blues to Gospel have their roots in the USA. Historian John F. Lyons examines the origins of American popular culture in the first half of the 20th century. Rising affluence, technological innovations, and global alterations ushered in one of the most exciting eras in American history. Through the use of music, video, and photographs from the interwar period, this highly entertaining presentation explains the origins of American popular culture.
