A New Deal For Native Art : Indian Arts And Federal Policy, 1933-1943

Attribution
Jennifer McLerran
Publication Details
Book, University of Arizona Press, 2009
Description
In A New Deal for Native Art Jennifer McLerran reveals how positioning the native artist as a pre-modern Other served the goals of New Deal programs?and how this sometimes worked at cross-purposes with promoting native self-sufficiency. In this first book to address the ways in which New Deal Indian policy specifically advanced commodification and colonization, McLerran reviews its multi-pronged effort to improve the market for Indian art through the Indian Arts and Crafts Board, arts and crafts cooperatives, murals, museum exhibits, and Civilian Conservation Corps projects.

Description
The Hundred Days, Franklin Roosevelt?s first fifteen weeks in office, have become the stuff of legend, a mythic yardstick against which every subsequent American president has felt obliged to measure himself. Reintroducing the contingency that marked those fateful days, Badger humanizes Roosevelt and suggests a far more useful yardstick for future presidents: the politics of the possible under the guidance of principle.

Modernizing Main Street : Architecture And Consumer Culture In The New Deal

Attribution
Gabrielle Esperdy
Publication Details
Book, University of Chicago Press, 2008
Links
Description
An important part of the New Deal, the Modernization Credit Plan helped transform urban business districts and small-town commercial strips across 1930s America, but it has since been almost completely forgotten. As the decade?s two major cultural forces, Esperdy concludes, consumerism and the Depression transformed the storefront from a seemingly insignificant element of the built environment into a potent site for the physical and rhetorical staging of recovery and progress.

Description
In addition to reviewing the large- and small-scale objectives of such operations as the Public Works Administration, Civilian Conservation Corps, Works Progress Administration, and Tennessee Valley Authority, Leighninger applies the New Deal experience to current public policy issues.

The Segregated Origins Of Social Security : African Americans And The Welfare State

- Table of contents
- Publisher description
Description
Meticulously reconstructing the behind-the-scenes politicking that gave birth to the 1935 Social Security Act, Poole demonstrates that segregation was built into the very foundation of the welfare state because white policy makers–both liberal and conservative–shared an interest in preserving white race privilege.

A Commonwealth Of Hope : The New Deal Response To Crisis

Attribution

Did the New Deal represent the true American way or was it an aberration that would last only until the old order could reassert itself?

The Forgotten Man : A New History Of The Great Depression

Attribution
Amity Shlaes
Publication Details
Book, 1st ed, HarperCollins Publishers, 2007
Description
It’s difficult today to imagine how America survived the Great Depression. She shows how both Presidents Hoover and Roosevelt failed to understand the prosperity of the 1920s and heaped massive burdens on the country that more than offset the benefit of New Deal programs. From 1929 to 1940, federal intervention helped to make the Depression great?in part by forgetting the men and women who sought to help one another. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

The Defining Moment : FDR’s Hundred Days And The Triumph Of Hope

Attribution
Jonathan Alter
Publication Details
Book, Simon & Schuster, 2006
Links
Description
Franklin Delano Roosevelt took office in March of 1933 as America touched bottom. Facing the gravest crisis since the Civil War, FDR used his cagey political instincts and ebullient temperament in the storied first Hundred Days of his presidency to pull off an astonishing conjuring act that lifted the country and saved both democracy and capitalism. In a major historical find, Alter unearths the draft of a radio speech in which Roosevelt considered enlisting a private army of American Legion veterans on his first day in office. As he moved both right and left, Roosevelt’s insistence on “action now” did little to cure the Depression, but he began to rewrite the nation’s social contract and lay the groundwork for his most ambitious achievements, including Social Security.

Book, Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 2006

- Table of contents
Description
Within a year of FDR taking office, two seismic events would transform the political landscape: a nationwide outbreak of labor unrest, particularly the spread of a new and potent union weapon, the sit-down strike, and FDR’s launching of a scheme to overhaul the Supreme Court would combine to generate a fierce public backlash that tarnished Roosevelt’s mystique and drained the lifeblood from the New Deal.

Roosevelt, The Great Depression, And The Economics Of Recovery

Attribution
Elliot A. Rosen
Publication Details
Book, University of Virginia Press, 2005
Links
- Table of contents
Description
Evaluating policies in economic terms, and disentangling economic claims from political ideology, Rosen argues that while planning efforts and full-employment policies were essential for coping with the emergency of the depression, from an economic standpoint it is in fact fortunate that they did not become permanent elements of our political economy. Based on broad and extensive archival research, Roosevelt, the Great Depression, and the Economics of Recovery is at once an erudite and authoritative history of New Deal economic policy and timely background reading for current debates on domestic and global economic policy.
