In doing so it provides an insightful account of the major cultural forms of 1980's America - literature and drama; film and television; music and performance; art and photography - and influential texts and trends of the decade: from White Noise to Wall Street, from Silicon Valley to MTV, and from Madonna to Cindy Sherman. A focused chapter considers the changing dynamics of American culture in an increasingly globalised marketplace.Twentieth-century American culture.Nineteen eightiesPopular cultureUnited StatesHistory20th centuryUnited StatesCivilization1970-United StatesIntellectual life20th centuryUnited StatesSocial life and customs1971-Nineteen eighties.Popular cultureHistory306.097309048Thompson Graham1965-781130MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814480803321American culture in the 1980s4024666UNINA
