The Age Of American Unreason

Attribution
Susan Jacoby
Publication Details
Book, Pantheon Books, 2008
Links
- Table of contents only
Description
Combining historical analysis with contemporary observation, Susan Jacoby dissects a new American cultural phenomenon–one that is at odds with our heritage of Enlightenment reason and with modern, secular knowledge and science. Disdain for logic and evidence defines a pervasive malaise fostered by the mass media, triumphalist religious fundamentalism, mediocre public education, a dearth of fair-minded public intellectuals on the right and the left, and, above all, a lazy and credulous public.

Americanization And Anti-Americanism : The German Encounter With American Culture After 1945

Attribution
edited by Alexander Stephan
Publication Details
Book, Berghahn Books, 2005
Description
The ongoing discussions about globalization, American hegemony and September 11 and its aftermath have moved the debate about the export of American culture and cultural anti-Americanism to center stage of world politics. Drawing on examples from history, culture studies, film, radio, and the arts, the authors explore the political and cultural parameters of Americanization and anti-Americanism, as reflected in the reception and rejection of American popular culture and, more generally, in European-American relations in the “American Century.” (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

Blows Like A Horn : Beat Writing, Jazz, Style, And Markets In The Transformation Of U.S. Culture

Attribution
Preston Whaley, Jr
Publication Details
Book, Harvard University Press, 2004
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
Reopening the canons of the Beat Generation, Blows Like a Horn traces the creative counterculture movement as it cooked in the heat of Bay Area streets and exploded into spectacles, such as the scandal of the Howl trial and the pop culture joke of beatnik caricatures. Jazz, an American hybrid–shot through with an earned-in-the-woodshed, African American style of spontaneous intelligence–also gave Beat poetry its velocity and charisma.
