Morris Dickstein, whom Norman Mailer called \"one of our best and most distinguished critics of American literature,\" has brought together a staggering range of material-from epic Dust Bowl migrations to zany screwball comedies, elegant dance musicals, wildly popular swing bands, and streamlined Deco designs. Exploding the myth that Depression culture was merely escapist, Dickstein concentrates on the dynamic energy of the arts, and the resulting lift they gave to the nation's morale. A fresh and exhilarating analysis of one of America's most remarkable artistic periods, with \u003cem\u003eDancing in the Dark\u003c\/em\u003e Dickstein delivers a monumental critique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e Notable Book, \u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e Favorite Book, \u003cem\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/em\u003e Best Book of 2009, and \u003cem\u003eHuffington Post\u003c\/em\u003e Best Book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 626\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.22 x 6.18 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 06, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45339679293542,"sku":"9780393338768","price":44.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/aUNLSzQrZWFMUU5hc2IvYzdsWjl0dz09.webp?v=1774712973","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/dancing-in-the-dark-a-cultural-history-of-the-great-depression-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
