Week Eight Lecture
The 1920s in America saw a culture of great contrasts, with modern, urban values focused on materialism, science, and mass culture clashing with traditional, rural values focused on religion and nativism. This clash was seen in debates around issues like the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, Prohibition, and disputes between fundamentalism and evolutionism.
