The Origins of Cool in Postwar America por Joel Dinerstein
On a very short list of the contemporary cultural criticism I actually admire. I don't agree with all of Dinerstein's ideas, either inside or outside of this work, but I'm an enormous consumer of post-WWII American and French culture, and he treats the subject of post-WWII cool convincingly.
How John Henry was avenged: bebop, boogie-woogie, and the lindy hop as “survival technologyâ€? for a machine age. And I thought swing music was invented to sell khakis.
