But the 1970's are also seen as a particularly backward-looking time, seen by many critics as morbidly nostalgic for times before the wrenching changes that were associated with the 1960's. Happy Days: Images of the Pre-Sixties Past in Seventies America explores the relationship of the 1970's American culture to the pre-Sixties past through four case studies: representations ofthe 1950's; the emergence of neo-noir films and the reimagination of the mid-20th century figure of the hardboiled private investigator; reflections on the Revolutionary past on the occasion of the Bicentennial; and the legacy of slavery in the works of Alex Haley and Octavia Butler. Far from mere nostalgia, Americans' diverse reimaginings of the past were a significant part of what made the 1970's so culturally foundational for the decades to come"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a United States $x Civilization $y 1970- $9 76455 650 0 $a Popular culture $z United States $x History $y 20th century. $9 82149 650 0 $a Mass media and history $z United States. 650 0 $a Nostalgia in mass media. 650 0 $a Nineteen seventies. $9 79607 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240213010116.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=870CE802C4BD11EEB847D6DA21ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
