Peter W.Y. Lee ably shows how US filmmakers of the period created a cast of culturally potent boy characters to arbitrate conflicts of age, gender, race, class, and political ideology at the dawning of the American Century. \u003ci\u003eFrom Dead Ends to Cold Warriors\u003c\/i\u003e is required reading for historians of youth, film, and the early Cold War.\"\u003c\/div\u003e— Mischa Honeck, author of Our Frontier Is the World, The Boy Scouts in the Age of American Ascendancy\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAfter World War II, studies examining youth culture on the silver screen start with James Dean. But the angst that Dean symbolized—anxieties over parents, the \"Establishment,\" and the expectations of future citizen-soldiers—long predated \u003ci\u003eRebels without a Cause\u003c\/i\u003e. Historians have largely overlooked how the Great Depression and World War II impacted and shaped the Cold War, and youth contributed to the national ideologies of family and freedom. \u003ci\u003eFrom Dead Ends to Cold Warriors\u003c\/i\u003e explores this gap by connecting facets of boyhood as represented in American film from the 1930s to the postwar years. From the Andy Hardy series to pictures such as \u003ci\u003eThe Search\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIntruder in the Dust\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Gunfighter\u003c\/i\u003e, boy characters addressed larger concerns over the dysfunctional family unit, militarism, the \"race question,\" and the international scene as the Korean War began. Navigating the political, social, and economic milieus inside and outside of Hollywood, Peter W.Y. Lee demonstrates that continuities from the 1930s influenced the unique postwar moment, coalescing into anticommunism and the Cold War.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e   \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e  List of Tables\u003cbr\u003e  Foreword\u003cbr\u003e  Chronology\u003cbr\u003e  List of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e  Introduction: Are the Kids All Right?\u003cbr\u003e  1 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Family in Trouble, 1920-1945 \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  2 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Gable is Able: Re-Creating the Postwar Family \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  3 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Curbing Delinquency: Hot Rods and Hotrodding \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  4 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Whitewashing the Race Cycle in 1949 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  5 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The International Picture\u003cbr\u003e  Conclusion: Revising the \"Deanlinquent\" \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Acknowledgments \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Bibliography \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Index\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52638345003288,"sku":"9781978813465","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/from-dead-ends-to-cold-warriors-constructing-american-boyhood-in-postwar-hollywood-films-paperback-softback-9781978813465","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
