London, Verso, (1998). Reprint. Wrappers, illust., pp. xx, 556. One corner sl. bumped, small hole in half-title else fine. ISBN 1-85984-170-8. "The American Thirties was a period of fertile political coalitions that drew largely from grass-roots labor and Civil Rights activism to give New Deal liberalism its left-wing content and orientation. {The author} is ostensibly concerned here with an examination of the cultural counterpart to that American popular front. The breadth of his study is stunning, ranging from the compositional innovations of Duke Ellington and blues popularizations of Josh White to the Marxist critical theorizing of Kenneth Burke, from Orson Welles's Shakespeare adaptations to Tillie Olson's feminist-labor stories" (Library Journal).
