Instead, Kutulas argues that the experiences and attitudes that were radical in the 1960s were becoming part of mainstream culture in the 1970s, as sexual freedom, gender equality, and more complex notions of identity, work, and family were normalized through popular culture--television, movies, music, political causes, and the emergence of new communities. Seemingly mundane things like watching \u003ci\u003eThe Mary Tyler Moore Show\u003c\/i\u003e, listening to Carole King songs, donning Birkenstock sandals, or reading \u003ci\u003eRoots\u003c\/i\u003e were actually critical in shaping Americans' perceptions of themselves, their families, and their relation to authority. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven as these cultural shifts eventually gave way to a backlash of political and economic conservatism, Kutulas shows that what critics perceive as the narcissism of the 1970s was actually the next logical step in a longer process of assimilating 1960s values like individuality and diversity into everyday life. Exploring such issues as feminism, sexuality, and race, Kutulas demonstrates how popular culture helped many Americans make sense of key transformations in U.S. economics, society, politics, and culture in the late twentieth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judy Kutulas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 146963290X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469632902\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2017","brand":"Judy Kutulas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43935451480319,"sku":"9781469632902","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0ea70d71-cae9-4c67-bcdc-ca9ee6ad253b.jpg?v=1681419876","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/after-aquarius-dawned-judy-kutulas-9781469632902","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
