La Californie de Brown à Reagan, ou l'agonie du libéralisme (1958-1966)

California from Brown to Reagan or the agony of liberalism (1958-1966), Antoine Coppolani. The most populous state of the United States, the most economically powerful in the 1960s, California is also the spring-board for many shifts of contemporary American history. The election of Reagan to the governorship in 1966 is only the symbol of a deeper movement that seriously upset the American political landscape, the passage of a dominant paradigm, liberalism to its conservative antithesis. Wheras the liberal consensus was prevailing, California had become the testing ground of this political philosophy applied to the government. Although incontestable social and economic progress was accomplished, it didn't prevent internal contradictions and especially adverse and unexpected effects of the liberal policy from blowing away any consensus, throwing liberalism in California, and therefore in America, to the wind.

Rock Eras: Interpretations of Music and Society 1954–1984 by Jim Curtis

TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE Book Reviews 343 jazz from the airwaves without taking racism into account. Individual radio stations, and later the networks, consciously avoided black music and performers for fear of alienating white listeners, exactly as happens on MTV today. The same lack of insight mars Douglas’s discussion of “Amos ’n Andy.” Without an understanding that this important early program emerged from the American minstrel tradition, a racist entertainment form stealing its ideas from AfricanAmericans and repaying them with degrading portrayals, “Amos ’n Andy” makes no sense. Finally, the text is too sparsely footnoted. While the bibliography is complete and current, many chapters have fewer than five footnotes, most of them citations to earlier, romanticized histories. Douglas discusses the important events, personalities, and trends in radio broadcasting of the 1920s, but gives the reader few clues about where he obtained his information. Students could find little help with research projects here. Teachers need a short history of radio broadcasting for use in colleges and high schools, but deficiencies in scope and content, a lack of historical vision, and poorly documented research make Douglas’s book unsuitable for this purpose.

Bowling Green, Ohio: Bowling Green University Popular Press, 1987. Pp. 363; notes, index. $33.95 (cloth); $16.95 (paper). Jim Curtis has written an impressive account of the social and cultural significance of rock music. Profoundly influenced by Mar­ shall McLuhan’s Understanding Media, the author thematically chron­ icles the complex history of rock prior to its popularization by Elvis Presley and through the ensuing three decades. Curtis maintains that the combination of charismatic rock musicians and technological innovations forged an irrepressible tandem of societal influence in post-World War II popular culture, particularly in the United States and Great Britain. Rock Eras is one of the first scholarly treatments of the rock culture and industry. Curtis succeeds admirably in his analysis of rock’s symbiotic relationship with conventional society, especially as it existed in America. Because musical styles and tastes were evolving and transforming so rapidly during the thirty years Curtis examined, he divided the era into separate, five-year segments for scrutiny. Not­ 344 Book Reviews TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE withstanding this piecemeal approach, Curtis accurately emphasizes the weight of such momentous events as the civil rights movement or Vietnam and rock’s connection with them. Curtis’s ruminations concerning rock’s effect are enlivened with provocative historical considerations. European immigration, reli­ gious versus secular input, Winthrop’s covenant theology, Turner’s frontier thesis, and Jefferson’s agrarianism are all explored. Curtis fails, however, to describe adequately the actual equipment that facilitated the electronic wizardry essential to rock’s flourishing and sustenance. Rock is brimming with examples of technological devel­ opments and refinements: electric guitars, amplifiers, synthesizers, improved drum kits, advanced recording techniques, music videos, and light shows testify to the crucial importance of technology. Unfortunately, Rock Eras does not sufficiently examine this decisive aspect of rock music. (One glaring sin of bibliographical omission is the absence of Rock Hardware, edited by Tony Bacon, which describes the nuts and bolts of rock technology.) Perhaps the most serious flaw of Rock Eras is the total dearth of oral interviews with those who actually made the music, many of whom are still living. The author’s heavy reliance on secondary sources is regrettable. Another limitation is the complete lack of photographs and illustrations that could have shown some of rock’s colorfully vivid performers and concerts, as evidenced in The Art of Rock by Paul Grushkin. Despite its shortcomings, Rock Eras is an important contribution to both the historiography of contemporary American history and rock music itself. Whether portraying Beatlemania or the mindless noise of some heavy metal groups, Curtis diligently depicts the various musi­ cians in question and their import. He is to be commended for his thoughtful approach to the...

By Philip L. Fradkin. Tucson: University of Arizona Press, 1989. Pp. xiii + 300; notes, index. $24.95 (cloth); $14.95 (paper). In late 1950 the United States government decided to set aside a huge tract of almost uninhabited desert in southern Nevada for nuclear weapons tests. Reliance solely on offshore testing at Bikini and Eniwetok had come to seem risky as the Cold War deepened and almost foolhardy after the Korean War began in mid-1950. It was also very costly. Operations commenced at the Nevada Test Site early in 1951; until 1958 they took place mostly aboveground. Though tests began moving underground well before the 1963 test ban treaty TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE Book Reviews 345 ended all atmospheric testing, many argue the damage was already done: Radioactive clouds from Nevada drifted across the 1950s landscape dropping fallout and sowing death. Philip L. Fradkin shares this view, but his thesis in Fallout goes a step further: The government betrayed its citizens first by failing to warn them of danger and tell them how to protect themselves, then by refusing to admit error, trying to cover up evidence, and fighting citizen efforts to win compensation. During the early 1950s, fallout repeatedly dusted people living east of the test site in Nevada, Arizona, and especially Utah. Operation Upshot-Knothole in 1953 created the worst problems. Not only was heavy fallout detected around St. George, Utah, but sheepmen throughout the region blamed unusual losses of ewes and lambs that spring on exposure to radioactivity. Their suit against the government failed, but three decades later the judge in Bulloch et al. v. the U.S. reversed himself, charging the government with perpetrat­ ing a fraud on the court by withholding vital evidence in the 1956 trial. Meanwhile, hundreds of people who during the 1950s had lived downwind from the test site also filed suit, alleging fallout as cause of cancer and other ailments. Consolidated as Allen et al. v. the U.S. and tried in 1982, the case produced significant damage awards. Though both Bulloch and Allen were overturned on appeal, they strongly suggested some fire behind the smoke of repeated accusa­ tions. This is Fradkin’s tack. His tale of government crime and (non)punishment relies chiefly on testimony and exhibits from the Allen and (to a lesser extent) Bulloch trials, bolstered by 150 more or...

The Abortion Controversy as a Problem in Contemporary American History: Some Suggestions for Research

Few issues in modern America—indeed throughout the Western world— have proved as divisive, bitter, and intractable as that of abortion. Hardly anyone is without an opinion on the subject, and these views are frequently held and advanced with passion. While never perceived by the majority as the single most important issue before the public, the abortion issue has not gone away but rather remains, like a nagging toothache, as a continued source of pain and anger. Nor is it likely to subside in the future. Not only do the parties to the current dispute show no signs of ceasing their efforts, there is reason to believe that the issues and principles involved in the dispute are likely to reappear in other forms.
