Daily Life in Jazz Age America - The Greenwood Press Daily Life Through History Series
Steven L. Piott
This volume reveals the everyday actions of individuals and their reflections on their lives during the 1920s.
The Jazz Age was a tumultuous time for Americans as they attempted to come to terms with "modernity." Daily Life in Jazz Age America tells the story of how all Americans-blacks and whites, women and men, workers, employers, consumers, and activists-contended with new cultural attitudes as well as persistent racial, ethnic, and class tensions.
The book provides a broad examination of American society during the 1920s. Organized thematically, it covers rural and urban America; the changing nature of gender relationships; race relations; popular culture; the rise of mass spectator sports; and religion. Appropriate for general readers and students of history, Daily Life in Jazz Age America provides an informed and compelling narrative history and analysis of daily life within the context of broad historical change.
Provides readers with a look at tensions based on class, gender, ethnicity, and race that intensified under the strain of transition to the modern era and examines questions about equality, inclusion, status, and quality of life
Uses a social history approach that looks at immigrants and the native-born, farmers and workers, urbanites and migrants, employers and employees, policymakers and dissenters in the home, at the workplace, and of the church
Looks closely at how values and attitudes changed as America transitioned from an earlier Victorian culture that celebrated a value system rooted in hard work, self-sacrifice, and delayed gratification to a modern one that promoted immediate gratification and personal fulfillment through consumption
Includes a timeline of events, a glossary of key terms, primary documents, and a bibliography for discussion and further research
