A generation of men who had left their families and had learned to kill and to quickly dispatch sexual urges were rapidly reintegrated into civilian life, told to put the war behind them with cheer and confidence. Many veterans struggled, openly or privately, with this transition. Others in society wondered what the war had wrought in them. As Erin Lee Mock shows in this insightful book, the \"explosive\" potential of men became a central concern of postwar American culture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This wariness of veterans settled into a generalized anxiety over men's \"inherent\" violence and hypersexuality, which increasingly came to define masculinity. \u003ci\u003eChanged Men\u003c\/i\u003e engages with studies of film, media, literature, and gender and sexuality to advance a new perspective on the artistic and cultural output of and about the \"Greatest Generation,\" arguing that depictions of men's violent and erotic potential emerged differently in different forms and genres but nonetheless permeated American culture in these years. Viewing this homecoming through the lenses of war and trauma, classical Hollywood, pulp fiction, periodical culture, and early television, Mock shows this history in a provocative new light.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErin Lee Mock\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent scholar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 284\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 28, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647072821350,"sku":"9780813950952","price":80.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/4rjCHJtmFV9780813950952.webp?v=1779457824","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/changed-men-veterans-in-american-popular-culture-after-world-war-ii-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
