Dancing in the Dark - by Morris Dickstein (Paperback)

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the cultural history of the 1930s.

Morris Dickstein's vibrant portrait of this pivotal time period masterfully explores the anxiety and hope, the despair and surprising optimism of distressed Americans during the Great Depression.

With a staggering range of materials, including epic Dust Bowl migrations, zany screwball comedies, elegant dance musicals, wildly popular swing bands, and streamlined Deco designs, Dickstein delivers a monumental critique that is both fresh and exhilarating.

This book has been hailed as one of the best books of 2009 by the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, and it's easy to see why.

With Dancing in the Dark, you'll discover the dynamic energy of the arts during this difficult time and how they lifted the nation's morale.

Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to learn more about one of America's most remarkable artistic periods.
