YAHistory of Popular Culture series.
Each introduction looks superficially at two decades of American history, providing historical context for a discussion of popular music, art, architecture, fashion, movies, books, and, in 1960–1979, TV. The dense, tiny-size type is supported by sidebars and captioned photos in a cramped design, as if trying to squeeze everything in. These are adequate if arbitrary offerings. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these History of Popular Culture titles: Popular Culture: 1960–1979{cf1] and Popular Culture: 1900–1919.
