Group Project 1945 1960[1][1]
During the 1945-1960 period, literature reflected on the conflicts between post-war optimism and cultural doubts. Key works included Death of a Salesman, The Catcher in the Rye, and novels by Norman Mailer and James Jones. The Beat Generation emerged in the 1950s as a youth rebellion against cultural values. In film, genres like film noir and musicals were popular. Rock and roll music also emerged and grew in popularity during this time.
Rosie The Riveter
During World War II, over 19 million women joined the workforce to help with the war effort as many men were sent overseas to fight. This era was depicted in a famous propaganda poster from 1943 featuring "Rosie the Riveter" which represented women taking over jobs in factories and shipyards traditionally done by men. However, after the war ended, many women were forced to leave their jobs to make room for returning soldiers, despite having proven themselves as competent as men in the workforce during the war.
Depression
The document discusses key questions about the Great Depression including its causes and the effectiveness of government responses. It provides unemployment rates from 1930-1939 showing peaks of 26-27% in 1932-1933. It describes "Hoovervilles" and the Dust Bowl drought that exacerbated the situation. Government policies like increased tariffs, spending cuts, and work camps proved ineffective. Relief programs provided limited support but were difficult to access. The legacy included greater government intervention through Keynesian economics and the beginnings of the modern welfare state.
US History Ch. 3 Section 1 Notes
The document summarizes how the issue of slavery divided the Union in the mid-1800s. Conflict arose over whether to allow slavery in new western territories. The Wilmot Proviso and Compromise of 1850 attempted to address this but failed to resolve the issue. Tensions increased further following the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act and Kansas-Nebraska Act, as well as the Supreme Court's ruling in the Dred Scott case that denied citizenship to African Americans. Debates between Lincoln and Douglas also highlighted the growing divisions over slavery that would ultimately lead the nation into civil war.

Postcolonial theory
- Paul Gilroy argued that colonial discourses continue to inform contemporary attitudes toward race and ethnicity by constructing racial hierarchies that position white British people as superior.
- After World War 2 and the process of decolonization from 1945 to 1997, Britain struggled with becoming a multicultural society as immigrants from former colonies arrived to fill labor shortages.
- Gilroy asserted that colonial attitudes toward othering and civilizing "inferior" races persisted in how non-white postcolonial immigrants were viewed and treated in Britain even after their countries had gained independence.
1960's presentation
During the 1960s, major political and social changes occurred. John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 and the first human walked on the moon in 1969. The Vietnam War took place from 1959-1975. Musicians like The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and The Doors helped drive social revolution through their innovative music. Fashion also evolved as mini skirts became popular, defined by designers like Mary Quant. Technology advanced as well, with inventions like the laser and the first internet message. The 1960s marked a period of significant change and social upheaval.
1950s
The document discusses various aspects of life in the 1950s including the Cold War, nuclear weapons, the Space Race, television, music trends, fashion, cuisine, youth culture, sexuality, architecture, science/medicine, and transportation. The Cold War dominated global politics as the US and Soviet Union emerged as superpowers following WWII. Nuclear weapons became a daily reality and the Space Race heated up as the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the first artificial satellite. Rock and roll music rose to popularity in the latter half of the decade. Technology was influencing areas like food, fashion, and entertainment.
Latin American Cinema
The document discusses the concept and history of "world cinema". It originated as "Third cinema", a politically engaged cinema that emerged in Latin America in the 1970s. Over time, Third cinema shed its explicit political agenda and became known as world cinema, referring broadly to non-Hollywood national cinemas. The document then provides context on Latin American cinema and its connections to Hollywood, European films, and cinematic movements like Brazil's Cinema Novo in the 1950s-60s which sought to represent ethnic minorities and the disenfranchised. It also discusses Third cinema theory proposed in 1969 which called for using film as a tool of decolonization and revolution.
British cinema
The document discusses British cinema and asks questions about how media represents groups of people and how identity is mediated. It provides categories for classifying British films from fully British to those with some British involvement. While British film has had commercial ups and downs due to Hollywood's power, the task is to research British films and the industry from the 1930s to 2000s by decade in pairs, looking at films, their production, success, and relevant laws. Suggested websites provide resources on British cinema.

Hollywood Censorship
During the Great Depression of the 1930s and 1940s, Hollywood faced censorship due to several scandals involving inappropriate content in its films. One cause of censorship was movie studios copyrighting each other's film titles, leading to legal battles. In response, morality groups like the Catholic Legion of Decency and censors implemented a strict production code to ensure films promoted wholesome, Christian values and proper social behavior. This production code, along with pressure from churches and other morality groups, aimed to clean up Hollywood's image and prevent further government regulation over the movie industry's content during this turbulent time period.

1920s
The 1920s in America was a time of cultural escapism and economic boom, but also growing fear of internal threats. As the economy flourished on the surface, flaws emerged in the stock market. Following World War I, Americans withdrew and sought distractions, but also became wary of radicals like anarchists and communists amid labor unrest and Russia's communist revolution. This fueled a Red Scare where civil liberties were infringed through arrests and deportations, as isolationism and nativism rose.
The Red Scare
The Red Scare refers to two periods of intense anti-communist sentiment in the United States in the 20th century. During World War I and again in the late 1940s through 1950s, there was widespread fear of communist infiltration of the US government. This led to investigations and persecution of suspected communists, such as Ethel and Julius Rosenberg who were executed for espionage, and Alger Hiss who was accused of being a communist spy. The government implemented loyalty programs and acts restricting immigration to crack down on communist threats during the Cold War era.
1920s
The document provides an overview of several key events, people, and developments in the United States during the 1920s. It covers political scandals like the Teapot Dome Scandal, fears over communism and immigration, cultural changes brought by Prohibition and the flappers, economic boom periods and busts, and influential figures like Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. The 1920s was a transformative decade for the US as it transitioned from World War I and experienced major social, political, economic and technological changes.
Civil Rights
The document discusses the civil rights movement in the United States from the 1860s to the 1960s. It provides key events and court cases that advanced civil rights, such as the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments ending slavery and granting citizenship and voting rights to African Americans. Major civil rights events and court cases included Brown v. Board of Education ending school segregation in 1954 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The movement involved both nonviolent protests like sit-ins and boycotts led by Martin Luther King Jr. as well as more militant groups like the Black Panthers who advocated armed self-defense.
US History Ch. 2 Section 3 Notes
This document discusses the growth of the antislavery movement in the United States during the 1800s. It describes the lives of enslaved people and the leaders and activities of abolitionists who opposed slavery, such as William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Tubman. While some abolitionists used nonviolent protest and civil disobedience, the movement faced significant resistance from those who argued slavery was important to the Southern economy. The growing abolition movement highlighted divisions between the Northern and Southern states on the issue of slavery.
How did capitalism and communism clash
Capitalism and Communism clashed due to their fundamental differences in ideology. Capitalism supported private ownership and free market economies, while Communism advocated public ownership, a classless society, and centralized government control of production and distribution. As Communist governments expanded across Eastern Europe after World War 2, an "Iron Curtain" divided communist lands from Western Europe and the ideological divide deepened during the Cold War era of tensions between capitalist and communist blocs.
American golden age 1945 1960
The postwar period from 1945-1960 saw significant economic growth and social changes in America. There was a boom in suburban living and consumerism driven by increased incomes and availability of credit. However, prosperity was uneven as 25% still lived in poverty. Tensions remained from the Cold War and nuclear arms race. Desegregation progressed slowly despite the 1954 Brown v. Board ruling, as seen by resistance in Little Rock in 1957. A growing counterculture emerged among youth in response to conformity during this period of political, economic and social upheaval.
