Download or read book Anti Communism and Popular Culture in Mid Century America written by Cyndy Hendershot and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2003-01-02 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not long after the Allied victories in Europe and Japan, America's attention turned from world war to cold war. The perceived threat of communism had a definite and significant impact on all levels of American popular culture, from government propaganda films like Red Nightmare in Time magazine to Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle. This work examines representations of anti-communist sentiment in American popular culture from the early fifties through the mid-sixties. The discussion covers television programs, films, novels, journalism, maps, memoirs, and other works that presented anti-communist ideology to millions of Americans and influenced their thinking about these controversial issues. It also points out the different strands of anti-communist rhetoric, such as liberal and countersubversive ones, that dominated popular culture in different media, and tells a much more complicated story about producers' and consumers' ideas about communism through close study of the cultural artifacts of the Cold War.

United Kingdom circa the 1980s—Ursula and Jerry find themselves surrounded by hip hairdos and dominating parents. The future looks bleak if they do not change their lives dramatically. Both are itching to escape their current lives and engage with the wider world.

All the while, Jerry stays committed to Ursula in mind but not in body, questioning their relationship and the nature of their love. “Woof . . . succeeds in conveying ‘the infinity of moments’ that make up a lifetime.” —The New Yorker “An unusual but convincing love story that charts the often-distant lives of her two distinctive and appealing characters, written with wit and a lyrical flourish.” —The Daily Mail “Engaging . . . In precise, lyrical prose, Woof creates empathy for her characters’ struggles and desires.” —Kirkus Reviews “Woof is a storyteller and you can tell this from the first few pages.” —The Times (London) “Woof finds humor and poignancy in the gulf between how things are and how they ought to be.” —The Observer “[A] quixotic, forceful voice . . . [An] indubitable talent.” —The Guardian

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling fiction author Jerry S. Eicher (nearly half a million books sold) turns his pen to a moving memoir of his life growing up Amish. Jerry’s mother was nineteen years old and nine months married when he was born. She had received Grandfather Stoll’s permission for the wedding because she agreed to help out on the farm the following year. However, with Jerry on the way, those plans failed. Jerry recounts his first two years of school in the Amish community of Aylmer, Ontario and his parents’ decision to move to Honduras. Life in that beautiful Central American country is seen through an Amish boy’s eyes—and then the dark days when the community failed and the family returned to America, much to young Jerry’s regret. Jerry also tells of his struggle as a stutterer and his eventual conversion to Christ and the reasons for his departure from the childhood faith he knew. Here is a must-read for not just Jerry’s fiction fans, but also for readers curious about Amish life.
