From postwar promise
to a miasma
of discontent.

Cultural & Sociopolitical Strains

The wars, the violence associated with protests, financial crises and a global pandemic, all came at great human cost to many American families.

This book looks at effects of these occurrences on American society: examining such topics as illiberal religions, the corrupt media, the trappings of greed in politics, globalism, the woke culture; the role of film, television, and music; and more.

“Connecting policy, protest, and culture so younger readers comprehend sociopolitical mechanics and mature readers debate how history transformed America.”
