As they debated what behaviors were normal or average, abnormal or deviant, Cold War Americans also celebrated and scrutinized the state of their nation, relating apparent changes in sexuality to shifts in its political structure, economy, and people. American Sexual Character employs the studies and the myriad responses they evoked to examine national debates about sexuality, gender, and Americanness after World War II. Focusing on the mutual construction of postwar ideas about national identity and sexual life, this wide-ranging, shrewd, and lively analysis explores the many uses to which these sex surveys were put at a time of extreme anxiety about sexual behavior and its effects on the nation. Looking at real and perceived changes in masculinity, female sexuality, marriage, and homosexuality, Miriam G. Reumann develops the notion of "American sexual character," sexual patterns and attitudes that were understood to be uniquely American and to reflect contemporary transformations in politics, social life, gender roles, and culture. She considers how apparent shifts in sexual behavior shaped the nation's workplaces, homes, and families, and how these might be linked to racial and class differences. 606 $aSex$zUnited States 606 $aGender identity$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSex 615 0$aGender identity 676 $a306.7/0973 700 $aReumann$b Miriam G.$f1966-$01035889 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450073903321 996 $aAmerican sexual character$92455836 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01138nam a2200313 i 4500 001 991003870449707536 005 20030103125104.0 008 021028s1988 it ||| | ita 020 $a8842030090 035 $ab11876578-39ule_inst 035 $aPRUMB66913$9ExL 040 $aDip.to SSSC$bita 082 0 $a304.2 100 1 $aCrosby, Alfred W.$0157818 245 10$aImperialismo ecologico :$bl'espansione biologica dell'Europa, 900-1900 /$cCrosby 260 $aRoma ; Bari :$bLaterza,$c1988 300 $aXII, 336 p. ;$c21 cm. 490 0 $aQuadrante ;$v11 500 $aTrad. di Salvatore Maddaloni 650 4$aColonie$xPopolazione$xStoria 650 4$aGeografia umana 740 00$aEcological imperialism 907 $a.b11876578$b28-04-17$c07-01-03 912 $a991003870449707536 945 $aLE021 NBB19$g2$iLE021N-1221$lle021$o-$pE0.00$q-$rl$s- $t0$u0$v0$w0$x0$y.i12131040$z07-01-03 945 $aLE021 NFB4$g1$iLE021N-6555$lle021$o-$pE0.00$q-$rl$s- $t0$u0$v0$w0$x0$y.i12131052$z07-01-03 996 $aImperialismo ecologico$9871742 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale021$b01-01-02$cm$da $e-$fita$git $h0$i2
