As America commemorates the 50th anniversary of the 1970s, Blaine Browne takes a fresh look at the decade's significant international, political, social, cultural, economic, and intellectual developments, with a particular focus on how these developments continue to shape American life. He views the 1970s as a pivotal transitional era, marked by the demise of many of the promises and hopes of the 1960s, the collapse of the post-World War II consensus, and the uncertainties of a new age in which America's global dominance may not be as secure as it had been for the past quarter century. Adding to these concerns were growing fundamental economic challenges and apprehensions about the viability of the nation's political leadership and democratic institutions. A pervasive sense of anxiety permeated national life. Whether readers are revisiting the years when they came of age or exploring the 1970s for the first time, Dazed and Confused will introduce the topics and characters who defined this pivotal decade in American history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile historians have delved into every facet of American history during the turbulent 1960s, coverage of the subsequent decade remains limited.
