摘要

The two-volume Great Depression in America: A Cultural Encyclopedia is different from all other works covering the Depression in American history that lasted from 1929 until the beginning of World War II. The difference is that the work does not examine the Depression from a purely political and historical viewpoint, but looks at the cultural phenomena with a particular emphasis on the impact of the mass media, radio and the movies. The range of topics is extremely wide - and they cover the trivial to the historically important. But, of course, as we know well, it is often the trivial which can be the most interesting when we look back in history at the lives of ordinary people. I cannot recall reading another book on this period of history which covered chain letters, jigsaw puzzles, marathon dancing, and miniature golf, while, at the same time, covering the politicians and the important political events.
