Fascinated by jazz, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll, novelists such as Norman Mailer, Ralph Ellison, John Updike, and Joan Didion turned to hip culture to negotiate the voter realignments then reshaping national politics. Figuratively transporting white professionals and managers into the skins of African Americans, these novelists and many others insisted on their own importance to the ambitions of a party dependent on coalition-building but not fully committed to integration. Arbiters of hip for readers who weren't, they effectively branded and marketed the liberalism of their moment?and ours. 410 0$aPost*45 606 $aAmerican fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPolitics and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAfrican Americans in literature 606 $aPopular culture in literature 606 $aLiberalism in literature 606 $aRace in literature 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aAfrican Americans in literature. 615 0$aPopular culture in literature. 615 0$aLiberalism in literature. 615 0$aRace in literature. 676 $a810.9/358 700 $aSzalay$b Michael$f1967-$01507070 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785551303321 996 $aHip figures$93737534 997 $aUNINA
