Download or read book The Modern Temper written by Lynn Dumenil and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 1995 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When most of us take a backward glance at the 1920s, we may think of prohibition and the jazz age, of movies stars and flappers, of Harold Lloyd and Mary Pickford, of Lindbergh and Hoover--and of Black Friday, October 29, 1929, when the plunging stock market ushered in the great depression. But the 1920s were much more. Lynn Dumenil brings a fresh interpretation to a dramatic, important, and misunderstood decade. As her lively work makes clear, changing values brought an end to the repressive Victorian era; urban liberalism emerged; the federal bureaucracy was expanded; pluralism became increasingly important to America's heterogeneous society; and different religious, ethnic, and cultural groups encountered the homogenizing force of a powerful mass-consumer culture. "The Modern Temper "brings these many developments into sharp focus.

Excerpt: ... too little attention in this connection, for it has produced a composer of first rank, Dvorak; a soprano of the purest type, Emmy Destinn; and a violinist of world fame, Kubelik. How many Dvoraks, Destinns, and Kubeliks are lost to the United States and the world because we allow the Bohemian's abilities to go unnoticed cannot be estimated. The largest colony of Bohemians in our country is in Chicago. Many Bohemians have gone into the skilled trades. Large numbers follow agricultural pursuits in the Eastern states, the Middle West, and elsewhere, such as Texas. Wherever the Bohemians are located, the Sokol, an organization for athletic and fraternal purposes, may usually be found. The Moravians who live in the province that borders Bohemia on the east are closely similar to the Bohemians but not as highly developed. Still further to the east in former Hungary lies Slovakland where the Slovaks occupy the meager hill country. The natural resources have been scant and the political pressure by the Hungarians has been rigorous. It was at the beginning of the present century that the Slovaks learned of the possibilities of coming to the United States. A low economic status and Hungarian restrictive measures held the movement in check. Under the leadership of Thomas Masaryk, the first president, the Czechoslovak republic made a splendid beginning. The Bohemians, Moravians, Slovaks, and Silesians united under a free constitution and a liberal government. Many Czechoslovaks in the United States have returned to the home country, although those who have lived in this country for some time are remaining. They are literate, quick to learn, and willing to become citizens. The Jugo-Slavs include the Croatians, Slovenians, Slavonians, Dalmatians, ..

Download or read book The New Era written by Paul V. Murphy and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2011-12-22 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1920s, Americans talked of their times as “modern,” which is to say, fundamentally different, in pace and texture, from what went before—a new era. With the end of World War I, an array of dizzying inventions and trends pushed American society from the Victorian era into modernity. The New Era provides a history of American thought and culture in the 1920s through the eyes of American intellectuals determined to move beyond an older role as gatekeepers of cultural respectability and become tribunes of openness, experimentation, and tolerance instead. Recognizing the gap between themselves and the mainstream public, younger critics alternated between expressions of disgust at American conformity and optimistic pronouncements of cultural reconstruction. The book tracks the emergence of a new generation of intellectuals who made culture the essential terrain of social and political action and who framed a new set of arguments and debates—over women’s roles, sex, mass culture, the national character, ethnic identity, race, democracy, religion, and values—that would define American public life for fifty years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly 100 years, Hollywood has provided not only the majority, but also the most popular of films shown on British Screens.

Mark Glancy investigates Hollywoo.

Download or read book American Decades Primary Sources 1920 1929 written by Cynthia Rose and published by UXL. This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Roaring Twenties" was a roaring decade indeed. The passage of the Volstead Act prohibited the sale and consumption of alcohol and spawned a black market network of smuggling and speakeasies. Gangsters like Al Capone captured the public's imagination. Fashionable, fun-loving women wore short skirts and even shorter hair. They, and a growing number of the public, danced to jazz music, and the popular Cotton Club in Chicago was open to both African Americans and whites. Business was booming in many industries and, for the first time, people were buying on credit. Speculation in the stock market was at an all-time high as a "get rich quick" mentality took hold, but the artificially inflated bubble burst on October 24, 1929. The stock market crash closed out the 1920s with a bang.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essentials of Americanization To Help Win the War for Democracy is the main purpose of this book. The overthrowing of the Prussian autocracy was one vital phase of the struggle for democratic principles. The perfecting of our American democracy is another important aspect of this world-wide problem. That this volume will assist the cause of democracy, in some small way, is the hope of the author. The Federal government has directed our attention officially to the subject of Americanization. Through the recently established Division of Americanization, the entire country is being organized for that work. To aid in this splendid undertaking is the second aim of the writer. There are many private and semi-public organizations which are carrying on unrelated plans of assimilation. In the activities of some of these organizations, Americanization is receiving a narrow-minded and autocratic expression. It will fail wherever it denies the validity of comprehensive and fundamental principles. We dare not base it chiefly on compulsion. We must make it attractive and magnetic and just. To help meet this need is the third leading purpose which has caused the writing of this treatise. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
