Book excerpt: This vivid New York Times bestseller about 1950s America from a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist is “an engrossing sail across a pivotal decade” (Time). Joe McCarthy. Marilyn Monroe. The H-bomb. Ozzie and Harriet. Elvis. Civil rights. It’s undeniable: The fifties were a defining decade for America, complete with sweeping cultural change and political upheaval. This decade is also the focus of David Halberstam’s triumphant The Fifties, which stands as an enduring classic and was an instant New York Times bestseller upon its publication. More than a survey of the decade, it is a masterfully woven examination of far-reaching change, from the unexpected popularity of Holiday Inn to the marketing savvy behind McDonald’s expansion. A meditation on the staggering influence of image and rhetoric, The Fifties is vintage Halberstam, who was hailed by the Denver Post as “a lively, graceful writer who makes you . . . understand how much of our time was born in those years.” This ebook features an extended biography of David Halberstam.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Days in the Fifties: A True Story With Some Untrue Names, of Persons and Places When a boy I attended school in the old stone school-house in northern New York, near the banks of the beautiful St. Lawrence. Those were days never to be forgotten. How I live them over and over calling up event after event till I almost feel that I am a boy again! I can see the old wooden benches each with the names of many pupils carved on it; the old painted blackboard hanging on the wall and behind it the long, crooked beech switch with which the master often tickled our flesh, thus developing our organs of speech in a wonderful manner. I venture to say that the most celebrated prima donna with all her modern training never reached higher notes than we attained by this antique method. How we did learn in those days! Why, it was no more trouble for a ten-year-old to rattle off such numbers as 889,654,328,896 than it is to-day for a boy of half that age to tell the cost of a peck of potatoes at fifty cents a bushel; but a boy of ten was never asked such questions as the latter, for that was an example in Compound Denominate Numbers! "Them questions were way over in the middle of the 'rithmetic and were for the big fellers in the big room."

Download or read book Sex Crimes in the Fifties written by Lisa Featherstone and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-18 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (2013-2017) has given national consciousness to the problematic treatment of sexual offences in Australia’s past. Yet there has been little historical research into the policing, prosecution and punishment of those crimes. This book examines Australia’s treatment of sexual crimes in the 1950s, a decade well known for its political and social conservatism, its prudish views on morality, and its prescriptive gender roles for men and women. Fewer would know that this same decade saw soaring arrests, mounting criminal prosecutions, and intensifying public debates about how to deal with sexual offenders. Or that sexual offences on children attracted the most concentrated state attention and public concern. Sex Crimes in the Fifties uncovers this new history by drawing on transcripts of hundreds of criminal proceedings and extensive research in criminal justice archives. We examine the criminal trial itself, exploring how prosecutors, defence counsel, witnesses, juries and judges understood sexual crimes. We consider the experience of women testifying in rape trials, the prosecution of sexual crimes against children, the court’s treatment of recent immigrants, the prosecution and punishment of homosexual men, the influence of psychiatric evidence, and the increasing public debates over the ‘sex offender’. We show that the 1950s was indeed foundational to many of our contemporary beliefs about sexual crimes. This book makes a major contribution to our historical and socio-legal knowledge about sexual offences and criminal prosecution. It will be of interest to historians, criminologists, sociologists, and legal scholars as well as general readers interested in the treatment of these crimes in our past.
