Description
In this book, Owen Cantrell interprets American popular culture of the past four decades through the lens of paranoia and nostalgia - twin structures of feeling. Cantrell argues that these culturally-pervasive emotions stem from the United States' fraught political relationship to history during this period as a result of the backlash to the Second Reconstruction (1980-2008) and the Third Reconstruction (2008-present).
