Dunak provides a nuanced history of the American wedding and its celebrants. Blending an analysis of film, fiction, advertising, and prescriptive literature with personal views from letters, diaries, essays, and oral histories, Dunak demonstrates the ways in which the modern wedding epitomizes a diverse and consumerist culture and aims to reveal an ongoing debate about the power of peer culture, media, and the marketplace in America.WeddingsUnited StatesHistoryUnited StatesSocial life and customs1945-1970United StatesSocial life and customs1971-WeddingsHistory.392.50973Dunak Karen M0MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821819303321As Long as We Both Shall Love4058243UNINA
