Dancing in the Dark: A Cultural History of the Great Depression by Morris Dickstein

3.0

This was fine, but I understand why it is not more highly rated... it is absolutely an academic treatise on Depression era culture rather than a popular history. It delves into a number of now long forgotten novels and spends a great deal of times analyzing these in depth. It also touches on the more familiar cultural touchstones (Fred and Ginger, Screwball comedy, Jazz), but to a lesser degree.
