Schulman  aNew York :bDa Capo Press,c2002  axvii, 334 p.  a"A book of shrewd historical analysis and clear anecdotal prose...[Schulman's] argument is utterly persuasive."--New York Times Book Review. Sweeping away misconceptions about the "Me Decade," Bruce Schulman offers a fast-paced, wide-ranging, and brilliant examination of the political, cultural, social, and religious upheavals of the 1970s. Arguing that it was one of the most important of the postwar twentieth-century decades, despite its reputation as an eminently forgettable period, Schulman reconstructs public events and private lives, high culture and low, analyzing not only presidential politics and national policy but also the broader social and cultural experiences that transformed American life. Here are the names, faces, and movements that gave birth to the world we now live infrom Nixon and Carter to The Godfather and the Ramones; from Billie Jean King and Phyllis Schlafly to NOW and the ERA; from the Energy Crisis to Roe v. Wade. The Seventies is an astutely provocative reexamination of a misunderstood era. 0aNineteen seventies. 0aUnited StatesxCivilizationy1970- 4aEstados UnidosxCivilizacióny1970-
