In The Bad Sixties: Hollywood Memories of the Counterculture, Antiwar, and Black Power Movements, Kristen Hoerl focuses on fictionalized portrayals of 1960s activism in popular television and film. Hoerl shows how Hollywood has perpetuated politics deploring the detrimental consequences of the 1960s on traditional American values. During the decade, people collectively raised fundamental questions about the limits of democracy under capitalism. But Hollywood has proved dismissive, if not adversarial, to the role of dissent in fostering progressive social change. Film and television are salient resources of shared understanding for audiences born after the 1960s because movies and television programs are the most accessible visual medium for observing the decade's social movements. Hoerl indicates that a variety of television programs, such as Family Ties, The Wonder Years, and Law and Order, along with Hollywood films, including Forrest Gump, have reinforced images of the "bad sixties." These stories portray a period in which urban riots, antiwar protests, sexual experimentation, drug abuse, and feminism led to national division and moral decay. According to Hoerl, these messages supply distorted civics lessons about what we should value and how we might legitimately participate in our democracy."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Motion pictures and history. 650 0 $a Nineteen sixties. 650 0 $a Politics in motion pictures $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Black power $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 7 $a Black power. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833747 650 7 $a Motion pictures and history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027408 650 7 $a Motion pictures $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027384 650 7 $a Nineteen sixties. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01037817 650 7 $a Politics in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01896085 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hoerl, Kristen. $t Bad sixties. $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, [2018] $z 9781496817242 $w (DLC) 2018000311 830 0 $a Race, rhetoric, and media series. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212025332.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180802014101.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8FAF0572961911E8A89F3E0097128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
