Book Description
The History of Wally Stokes is the hilarious story of an unlikely hero who finds himself caught up in the turbulent events of a big city during the Great Depression. The setting is Hudson City, a New Jersey working-class city during the harsh winter of 1936. The whimsical mock-epic narrative is filled with fast-talking theatrical impresarios, over-the-hill vaudevillians, boarding-house eccentrics, inept union leaders, oddball newspaper writers, and a odd collection of felonious capitalists, blue-collar workers, and common vagabonds. Into this free-for-all steps Wally Stokes, a retiring correspondence-school graduate, whose life unexpectedly transformed on day in the waiting room of the Hudson City Evening Gazette.

Dress and Identity in America
Author: Daniel Delis Hill
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350373931
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Dress and Identity in America is an examination of the conservatism and materialism that swept across the country in the late 1940s through the 1950s-a backlash to the wartime tumult, privations, and social upheavals of the Second World War. The study looks at how American men sought to recapture a masculine identity from a generation earlier, that of the stoic patriarch, breadwinner, and dutiful father, and in the process, became the men in the gray flannel suits who were complacently conventional and conformist. Parallel to that is a look at how American women, who had donned pants and went to work in wartime munitions factories or joined services like the WACS and WAVES, were now expected to stay at home as housewives and mothers, dressed in cinched, ultrafeminine New Look fashions. As the Space Age dawned, their baby boom children rejected the conventions of their elders and experimented with their own ideas of identity and dress in an emerging era of counterculture revolutions.
