During those years, civil rights reforms and the opening of the workplace to people of color and women provoked a sharp backlash. McClure's story unfolds through the examination of various confrontations erupting in popular media, including film, television, music, and the business press. From the 1965 debate between William F. Buckley and James Baldwin, through the pages of BusinessWeek and Playboy, to the rise of exploitation cinema in the 1970s, McClure tracks the increasingly shared perception by white males that they had 'lost' their long-standing rights-and that a great neoliberal reckoning would be necessary if America's longstanding repressive racial, sexual, gendered, and classed foundations were to be restored"-- Provided by publisher Subject Neoliberalism -- United States -- History -- 20th century White nationalism -- United States -- History Male domination (Social structure) -- United States -- History Privatization -- United States -- History -- 20th century Male domination (Social structure) -- History HISTORY / United States / 20th Century White nationalism Social policy Race relations Privatization Neoliberalism Male domination (Social structure) Economic policy SUBJECT United States -- Social policy -- History -- 20th century United States -- Economic policy -- History -- 20th century United States -- Race relations -- History -- 20th century Subject United States Genre/Form Electronic books History Form Electronic book ISBN 1469664704 9781469664705 9781469664699 1469664690
