Synopsis
In this social and cultural history of America just after World War I, Ann Hagedorn makes a good case that 1919 was a pivotal year. Soldiers returning from war were looking for jobs and a better life; there were advances in technology; and it was a fertile time for literature and the arts. Acknowledging the advances begun in the progressive era, Hagedorn highlights the time's repressive aspects, such as the fear of Bolsheviks and the continued denial of equal rights to African Americans. Her rich and colorful snapshot captures an early chapter of a century of great change, the beginnings of what was to become known as the American century.
