Matusow (read 2 Jun 1995) This is a 1984 volume in The New American Nation series. It is dubbed a history of liberalism in the 1960's and deals with much I knew and lived thru as a person avidly interested in politics. It contains a harsh indictment of many liberal efforts I supported. Its words on the War on Poverty seem somewhat valid to me now. The book has a chapter on the civil rights struggle, and a whole section on economics and the fall of Keynesism. The third section talks of the counterculture, the new left, and black power, ending with the war and the 1968 election. Much Matusow says makes sense to my more conservative self now (1995) , but he is also glib. The sixties were an exciting and stress-filled time, and this book was worth reading.

In a book that William E. Leuchtenburg, writing in the Atlantic, called ?a work of considerable power,? Allen Matusow documents the rise and fall of 1960s liberalism. He offers deft treatments of the major topics--anticommunism, civil rights, Great Society programs, the counterculture--making the most, throughout, of his subject's tremendous narrative potential. Matusow's preface to the new edition explains the sometimes critical tone of his study. The Unraveling of America, he says, ?was intended as a cautionary tale for liberals in the hope that when their hour struck again, they might perhaps be fortified against past error. Now that they have another chance, a look back at the 1960s might serve them well.' No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
